Day 4526
Day 4526 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. Wilf Tanner and Dell Tanner have got into the habit of each other. Iris Brody is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. 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.
