Day 3907
Day 3907 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch have got into the habit of each other. Whatever Ike Tidewater and Sal Marino were circling, they have landed on it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
