Day 2648
Day 2648 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Dot Ferris has kept at sketching the shoreline long enough that the town expects it now. Ike Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Founders Day Festival Approaches reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
