Day 858
Day 858 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. 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.
