Day 3159
Day 3159 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Truman Beaumont is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Ned Ferris. Ewan Callahan is not currently speaking to Orson 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.
