Day 2599
Day 2599 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle no longer need a reason to call round. Wilf Tanner noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Sandcastle Regatta Approaches has the whole town talking. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
