Day 5736
Day 5736 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle have got into the habit of each other. Elaine Whitlow has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do. 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.
