Day 884
Day 884 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Three separate neighbours greeted Truman Beaumont with the identical sentence this morning. 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 reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
