Day 5249
Day 5249 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Abel Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Posy Gorse is officially toddling and into everything. Founders Park will never be the same. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. What Our Song Actually Is takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
