Day 3028
Day 3028 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Linus Tidewater has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dell Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Ned Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
