Day 4914
Day 4914 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Dot Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Ned Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Founders Day Festival Approaches runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
