Day 3266
Day 3266 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Sal Marino is in Seahaven General after they got bowled over by an over-enthusiastic seagull. 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.
