Day 3950
Day 3950 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have got into the habit of each other. Elaine Whitlow has turned sketching the shoreline into a real part of life. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
