Day 4905

Day 4905 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Opal Ferris and Bea Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Opal Ferris. Bea Callahan 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. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
