Day 4476
Day 4476 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Wilf Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Mabel Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Wilf Tanner has turned learning the orchard properly into a real part of life. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Wager on the Weather takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
