Day 3564
Day 3564 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Milo Ferris is in Seahaven General after they slipped on the wet planks down at the dock. Cass Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

12:00Wilf Tanner called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.

13:59Abel Callahan and Sal Marino have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things.
14:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Orson Ferris has been elected to deal with it.
14:18Truman Beaumont reads it aloud. It concerns something the town no longer has.
14:51Wilf Tanner has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it.
16:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
16:47Truman Beaumont and Mabel Tidewater kept their word and finished what they started.
19:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.

21:57Hattie Whitlow has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
22:08Abel Callahan has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
22:15Orson Ferris is describing a fish that grows between each telling.
22:21Perry Gorse offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
22:34Bea Callahan has begun issuing compliments in alphabetical order.
23:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
