Day 3988
Day 3988 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Jonah Ferris took a tumble off a stepladder while rescuing a kite and is spending a few days in Seahaven General. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Milo Ferris. Milo 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. Talent Night at The Anchor reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
