Day 2306
Day 2306 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Ewan Callahan is not brilliant at sketching the shoreline, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically. 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.

12:38Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
13:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.

14:06One small Seahaven question is settled, and Jonah Ferris is already eyeing another.
17:00Abel Callahan has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
18:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
19:00The tide is out further than usual. Bram Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind.
20:06Kip Doyle and Fern Gorse postponed the matter, but neither has forgotten it.
21:07Bram Tidewater's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches.
21:58Opal Ferris has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
