Day 5983
Day 5983 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Dot Ferris and Elaine Whitlow came to (very gentle) blows over a disagreement over who really caught the biggest fish. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Elaine Whitlow. Elaine 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 Clock Is Two Minutes Fast runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
