Day 3902
Day 3902 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Opal Ferris is conducting an imaginary orchestra near the dartboard. Kip Doyle has kept at practising stories worth telling long enough that the town expects it now. Mabel Tidewater is not currently speaking to Cass Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Founders Day Festival Approaches runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
