Day 1319
Day 1319 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The Sheriff declares the town safe and returns to the crossword. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. 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.
