Day 3059
Day 3059 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Dot Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. Perry Gorse is in Seahaven General after they took a tumble off a stepladder while rescuing a kite. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Chess Rivalry begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

18:00A seagull has stolen Dell Tanner's sandwich near the dock. Again.
