Day 4687
Day 4687 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Ike Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The flour has arrived. The Bakery smells like itself again. Hattie Whitlow is in Seahaven General after they came off worse in an argument with a garden gnome and a flowerbed. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Founders Day Festival Approaches has the whole town talking. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
