Day 786
Day 786 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Jonah Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Edie Gorse's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches. 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.
