Day 2416
Day 2416 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fern Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The same passer-by has now walked past Truman Beaumont three times on the same route. Dell Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Loaf That Cannot Be Repeated runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
