Day 3753
Day 3753 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Hal Brody has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
