Day 4535
Day 4535 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Perry Gorse has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Hal Brody 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.

17:00Business is slow enough that Wilf Tanner has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
