Day 5781
Day 5781 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dell Tanner is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Wren Gorse and Edie Gorse no longer need a reason to call round. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Case of the Missing Harmonica reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
