Day 3181
Day 3181 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The flour has arrived. The Bakery smells like itself again. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
