Day 5051
Day 5051 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Wilf Tanner has come down with a touch of whatever half the town already had and is being kept in for observation. The mackerel are running off Seahaven Point. The dock has acquired a row of buckets and an atmosphere of quiet competition. A quantity of paperwork has appeared on Truman Beaumont's desk. Bev has been briefed to keep him at it. 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.
