Day 3574
Day 3574 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Kip Doyle is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. Cass Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

20:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.

22:16The Anchor's piano is being played by Ewan Callahan, who cannot play piano.
