Day 5262
Day 5262 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Iris Brody and Hal Brody came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Iris Brody. Iris Brody 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
