Day 4730
Day 4730 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Abel Callahan has come down with a case of the Seahaven sniffles and is being kept in for observation. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Bram Tidewater. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
