Day 878
Day 878 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Elaine Whitlow 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.

18:18Rex Callahan seen scribbling in a notebook at the dock — dockside diary or something more?
18:18Rex Callahan and Sal Marino kept their word and finished what they started.
19:00The tide is out further than usual. Sal Marino has gone to look at what it left behind.
20:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
22:17Fern Gorse is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
