Day 4549
Day 4549 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Wilf Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
