Day 962
Day 962 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Edie Gorse and Flo Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Flo Tidewater is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. Flo Tidewater 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
