Day 5885
Day 5885 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ned Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Opal Ferris has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing. Wren Gorse is not currently speaking to Nell Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Crab Roll Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
