Day 5962

Day 5962 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Edie Gorse and Dot Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a disagreement over who really caught the biggest fish. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. Perry Gorse is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
