Day 4130
Day 4130 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Bram Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Founders Day Festival Approaches has the whole town talking. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

15:36One small Seahaven question is settled, and Mabel Tidewater is already eyeing another.

17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
17:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
