Day 764
Day 764 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Jonah Ferris was born to Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

15:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.

19:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
20:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
