Day 5776
Day 5776 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. Ned Ferris's evening happened, ran long, and is still being talked about. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

22:20Rex Callahan has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
22:24Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Linus Tidewater onto the water. Linus Tidewater has not noticed.
