Day 5150
Day 5150 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Rex Callahan and Dot Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a disagreement over who really caught the biggest fish. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Rex Callahan. Abel Callahan is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. 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.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced

18:41keeping a notebook about the pond has stopped being something Lark Ferris is trying, and become something they do.

19:45Dot Ferris has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
19:50Hal Brody is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
