Day 5458
Day 5458 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Dell Tanner and Ike Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over a disputed game of dominoes. Dell Tanner is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. Dell 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. Whose Ladder Is This runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
