Day 2053

Day 2053 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The fair is over and the bunting is down. Two flags remain, and will remain, in a tree. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Bram Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Truman Beaumont takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

09:33Opal Ferris has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it.
10:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
11:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
12:00Sal Marino has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
13:01Everyone in town is now keeping the same secret, badly.

18:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
18:38Wilf Tanner has hosted the thing they kept meaning to host.

22:12Bram Tidewater has proposed a toast to the concept of Thursdays.

22:29Lark Ferris has begun issuing compliments in alphabetical order.
22:30Cole Whitlow is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
