Day 3182
Day 3182 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Rue Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. A sea fog has come in over Seahaven Springs and shows no sign of leaving. The lighthouse can be heard but not seen. Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

10:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
11:00Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered.

14:08The ladder is traced through four households, none of whom own it.
14:21Rue Callahan and Wilf Tanner have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things.

16:00Orson Ferris called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.

22:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.

22:56Gil Ferris has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
23:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
23:08Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Rex Callahan onto the water. Rex Callahan has not noticed.
