Day 1889
Day 1889 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Jonah Ferris. 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.
