Day 1660
Day 1660 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bev Tanner is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Ewan Callahan. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Bram Tidewater. 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.
