Day 871
Day 871 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Marla Finch has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. 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 takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
