Day 4640
Day 4640 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Cass Tanner and Ewan Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Ewan Callahan is not currently speaking to Cass Tanner. Hattie Whitlow is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Loaf That Cannot Be Repeated reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
