Day 4838
Day 4838 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Flo Ferris and Ned Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Abel Callahan is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. Ned Ferris is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. 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.
