Day 4670
Day 4670 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Opal Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. 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.
