Day 5199
Day 5199 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Bunting has gone up across Founders Park. The fair is on, and the committee is being very firm about the bunting. Dell Tanner is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. Posy Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
