Day 2432
Day 2432 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. There were not enough plates at Elaine Whitlow's, and nobody minded. keeping a notebook about the pond has stopped being something Rue Callahan is trying, and become something they do. Hal Brody has got good enough at sketching the shoreline to be quietly smug about it. 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.
