Day 1290
Day 1290 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bunting has gone up across Founders Park. The fair is on, and the committee is being very firm about the bunting. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Toby Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. 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.
