Day 1722
Day 1722 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fern Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
