Day 2178
Day 2178 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. The tide is out further than usual. Rue Callahan has gone to look at what it left behind. Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered. 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.
