Day 5771
Day 5771 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bev Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Ewan Callahan. Linus Tidewater is in Seahaven General after they misjudged the last step of the Town Hall stairs. 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.
