Day 5114
Day 5114 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Abel Callahan and Ike Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Abel Callahan is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. Hattie Whitlow is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

17:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
17:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
19:00Rain fell in a single column, precisely on Truman Beaumont, and nowhere else in Seahaven Springs.
