Day 1711
Day 1711 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Sheriff Hal Brody spotted studying a mysterious postcard over lunch — evidence, or just good mail? Kip Doyle has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. 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.
