Day 735
Day 735 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Sheriff Brody keeps a promise. Witnesses confirm: worth the wait. 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.

21:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
