Day 2577

Day 2577 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Opal Ferris has kept at keeping a notebook about the pond long enough that the town expects it now. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Perry Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Seed Loaf Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
