Day 2731
Day 2731 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Wilf Tanner and Bea Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Wilf Tanner. Bea Callahan is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
