Day 4167
Day 4167 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The contest ends in a tie. A rematch is scheduled for next season. And so concludes: The Great Kite-Flying Rivalry. The town will live with how it ended. Jonah Ferris is not currently speaking to Alma Callahan. 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.
