Day 5071
Day 5071 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Abel Callahan and Cole Whitlow came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Abel Callahan is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. Abel 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. What Our Song Actually Is takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
