Day 5010
Day 5010 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Edie Gorse and Dell Tanner came to (very gentle) blows over a disagreement over who really caught the biggest fish. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Dell Tanner. Edie 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. What Our Song Actually Is runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
