Day 5980
Day 5980 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Seahaven Bake-Off Approaches takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
