Day 5036
Day 5036 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Wilf Tanner has come down with a cough with genuine ambition and is being kept in for observation. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
