Day 857
Day 857 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Truman Beaumont is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Bea Callahan was born to Rex Callahan and Sal Marino. Linus Tidewater was born to Flo Tidewater and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Chowder Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
