Day 2795
Day 2795 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The mackerel are running off Seahaven Point. The dock has acquired a row of buckets and an atmosphere of quiet competition. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Linus Tidewater is not currently speaking to Dell Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
