Day 3475
Day 3475 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dot Ferris has kept at sketching the shoreline long enough that the town expects it now. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. Flo Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Lemon Tart Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
