Day 1073
Day 1073 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Hattie Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Bram Tidewater was born to Flo Tidewater and Milo Ferris. Hattie Whitlow was born to Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch. 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.
