Day 3037

Day 3037 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Mabel Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The fair is over and the bunting is down. Two flags remain, and will remain, in a tree. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Jonah Ferris. 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.

22:11Dell Tanner is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
22:13Ned Ferris is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
