Day 4300
Day 4300 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Cole Whitlow and Hattie Whitlow came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Milo Ferris. Cole Whitlow is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Dog Nobody Owns takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
