Day 2403
Day 2403 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Fern Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Elaine Whitlow has been elected to deal with it. Dell Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Battle of the Noticeboard reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
