Day 2411
Day 2411 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Bea Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Dell Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Square runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
