Day 2637
Day 2637 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Hal Brody and Bea Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox. Elaine Whitlow is not currently speaking to Hal Brody. Abel Callahan is not currently speaking to Orson Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Pear Harvest runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
