Day 1985
Day 1985 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Ned Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The community orchard has produced more plums than anyone planned for. Ned Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Plum Harvest runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
