Day 3837
Day 3837 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dot Ferris has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Lark Ferris takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
