Day 3977
Day 3977 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Milo Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. Marla Finch answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
