Day 5230
Day 5230 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Mabel Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Gil Ferris is not currently speaking to Alma Callahan. Alma Callahan is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. 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.
