Day 5136
Day 5136 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Whatever Alma Callahan and Marla Finch were circling, they have landed on it. Iris Brody is in Seahaven General after they came down awkwardly off the orchard ladder. Nell Tidewater was born to Mabel Tidewater and Dell Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Box Of Left Boots Delivery runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
