Day 2670
Day 2670 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Sal Marino has come down with a spectacular head cold and is being kept in for observation. The tide is out further than usual. Hattie Whitlow has gone to look at what it left behind. Ike Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
