Day 3362
Day 3362 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The town clock has stopped at twenty past four. Nobody can agree on when it happened, which is itself a problem of some irony. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Ned Ferris and Kip Doyle have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

13:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
14:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
16:27Gil Ferris and Jonah Ferris postponed the matter, but neither has forgotten it.
17:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
