Day 2174
Day 2174 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bram Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Wager on the Weather runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
