Day 988
Day 988 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Sal Marino and Fern Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Sal Marino is not currently speaking to Fern Gorse. Fern Gorse 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.
