Day 5620
Day 5620 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ike Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Bev Tanner is not currently speaking to Iris Brody. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. 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.
