Day 2973
Day 2973 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Rex Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Linus Tidewater. Iris Brody is not currently speaking to Wilf Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Case of the Missing Prize Pie runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
