Day 4028
Day 4028 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Ned Ferris and Kip Doyle have got into the habit of each other. 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.
