Day 5472
Day 5472 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Dot Ferris and Iris Brody came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Iris Brody. Dot Ferris 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 Wager on the Weather runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
