Day 5724
Day 5724 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Hattie Whitlow and Ned Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Hattie Whitlow is not currently speaking to Ned Ferris. Hattie Whitlow 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. The Loaf That Cannot Be Repeated runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
