Day 939
Day 939 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Edie Gorse has come down with a headache that has outstayed its welcome and is being kept in for observation. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Cole Whitlow was born to Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
