Day 1954
Day 1954 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Sal Marino has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Lark Ferris is a delighted new parent. Abel Callahan is a delighted new parent. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
