Day 5798
Day 5798 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. Hattie Whitlow is not currently speaking to Dell Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Loaf That Cannot Be Repeated reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
