Day 1307
Day 1307 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Iris Brody is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Elaine Whitlow has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before. 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.

16:00Somebody has been asked to need Truman Beaumont's help with something small and absorbing.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
