Day 4070
Day 4070 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Cole Whitlow has turned keeping a notebook about the pond into a real part of life. The tide is out further than usual. Perry Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Case of the Missing Lighthouse Postcard takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
