Day 5976
Day 5976 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ike Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The Sheriff declares the town safe and returns to the crossword. Edie Gorse is in Seahaven General after they came off worse in an argument with a garden gnome and a flowerbed. 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.
