Day 870
Day 870 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Marla Finch's hospital room is doing brisker business than the bakery. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Lark Ferris. Bea Callahan was born to Rex Callahan and Sal Marino. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Chowder Question takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
