Day 4675
Day 4675 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Wilf Tanner took a tumble off a stepladder while rescuing a kite and is spending a few days in Seahaven General. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Wilf Tanner is in Seahaven General after they took a tumble off a stepladder while rescuing a kite. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
