Day 2970
Day 2970 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Hal Brody's evening happened, ran long, and is still being talked about. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
