Day 1625
Day 1625 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Kip Doyle is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it. Wilf Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
