Day 4369
Day 4369 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. One small Seahaven question is settled, and Iris Brody is already eyeing another. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
