Day 2693
Day 2693 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Hattie Whitlow and Rex Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over a disputed game of dominoes. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Iris Brody is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
