Day 5780
Day 5780 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Edie Gorse and Cole Whitlow came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. Cole 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 Case of the Missing Harmonica takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
