Day 4909
Day 4909 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The contest ends in a tie. A rematch is scheduled for next season. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. And so concludes: The Great Chess Rivalry. The town will live with how it ended. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
