Day 5396

Day 5396 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Gil Ferris and Iris Brody came to (very gentle) blows over a disagreement over who really caught the biggest fish. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Abel Callahan. Iris Brody is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Fish Pie Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
