Day 2299
Day 2299 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A sea fog has come in over Seahaven Springs and shows no sign of leaving. The lighthouse can be heard but not seen. Dot Ferris has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing. Kip Doyle has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now. 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.
