Day 3860
Day 3860 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Opal Ferris and Bram Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over a disagreement over who really caught the biggest fish. Bram Tidewater is not currently speaking to Opal Ferris. Opal Ferris 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
