Day 1259
Day 1259 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bea Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Bea Callahan. Opal Ferris was born to Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
