Day 831
Day 831 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. BENCH-GATE INQUIRY: Local insurance man deputizes sheriff over four suspicious feet of lumber. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. Bea Callahan was born to Rex Callahan and Sal Marino. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Orchard Gate runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
