Day 5662
Day 5662 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Dot Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Abel Callahan is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. Dell Tanner is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
