Day 2553
Day 2553 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Rex Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Bram Tidewater has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. Perry Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
