Day 4475
Day 4475 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Fern Gorse has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Mabel Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Wager on the Weather runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
