Day 5479
Day 5479 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bev Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Milo Ferris. 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
