Day 4872
Day 4872 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Rex Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Ike Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Silas Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Wager on the Weather takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
