Day 2990
Day 2990 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Milo Ferris noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully. The tide is out further than usual. Kip Doyle has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
