Day 2297
Day 2297 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. The Lighthouse Lighting is held and is, of course, lovely. Truman Beaumont and Orson Ferris kept their word and finished what they started. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
