Day 2335
Day 2335 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The flour has arrived. The Bakery smells like itself again. Fern Gorse has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering. Mabel Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
