Day 537
Day 537 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Bev Tanner and June Ellery came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox. Bev Tanner is not currently speaking to June Ellery. Bev Tanner 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. A Surprise for Truman Beaumont reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
