Day 5671
Day 5671 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A quantity of paperwork has appeared on Truman Beaumont's desk. Bev has been briefed to keep him at it. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Loaf That Cannot Be Repeated runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
