Day 2464
Day 2464 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Dot Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Lark Ferris is expecting a baby with Abel Callahan. Cole Whitlow is in Seahaven General after they took a tumble off a stepladder while rescuing a kite. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
