Day 734
Day 734 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Sheriff Brody spotted lingering over lunch, in no hurry at all. Marla Finch has found her weeks unaccountably full. Iris Brody was born to Hal Brody and Norma Quist. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
