Day 5297
Day 5297 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Iris Brody is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Lark Ferris. Jonah Ferris is not currently speaking to Cass Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Battle of the Noticeboard reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
