Day 5924
Day 5924 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The glut is over. Seahaven Springs will be eating crumble until further notice. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have got into the habit of each other. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Founders Day Festival Approaches begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
