Day 5916
Day 5916 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ned Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Ewan Callahan is not currently speaking to Bea Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
