Day 1785
Day 1785 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. One small Seahaven question is settled, and Opal Ferris is already eyeing another. Bench watch: after days of primer and patience, Seahaven's most famous seat returns to duty. A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Square reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
