Day 3500
Day 3500 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Kip Doyle is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Orson Ferris. Flo Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Wager on the Weather begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

20:50Iris Brody and Alma Callahan kept their word and finished what they started.
21:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
