Day 5080
Day 5080 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ned Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Bea Callahan. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Alma Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Battle of the Noticeboard takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
