Day 4296
Day 4296 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Wilf Tanner and Edie Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Wilf Tanner. Flo Ferris is not currently speaking to Cass Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. What Our Song Actually Is takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
