Day 864
Day 864 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Edie Gorse and Flo Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Elaine Whitlow is a delighted new parent. Marla Finch is a delighted new parent. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Chowder Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

19:46Chowder Question update: verdict is in, opinions remain fierce.
20:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
