Day 5485
Day 5485 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Iris Brody is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Linus Tidewater and Bea Callahan have got into the habit of each other. Fern Gorse has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
