Day 3657
Day 3657 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Somebody has been asked to need Truman Beaumont's help with something small and absorbing. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Ned Ferris is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

08:24Perry Gorse has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing.
10:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.

16:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
18:00Business is slow enough that Wren Gorse has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
19:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
21:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
22:15Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Jonah Ferris onto the water. Jonah Ferris has not noticed.
22:17Opal Ferris has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.

22:21Bram Tidewater has begun a heartfelt speech with no clear subject.
