Day 4773
Day 4773 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. Opal Ferris is not currently speaking to Mabel Tidewater. Dell Tanner is in Seahaven General after they twisted an ankle chasing a runaway shopping trolley. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
