Day 1653
Day 1653 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Sheriff Brody and Truman Beaumont close in on the truth. Or at least a rung of it. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Wilf Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
