Day 4940
Day 4940 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Kip Doyle has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. Fern Gorse 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 Wager on the Weather runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
