Day 4259

Day 4259 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Hal Brody has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Wren Gorse's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches. Ned Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

11:42A motion from decades ago is found at the town hall, never voted on.
12:00It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically.

18:07Dell Tanner and Mabel Tidewater have got into the habit of each other.

20:54Abel Callahan and Elaine Whitlow kept their word and finished what they started.
21:58Milo Ferris has begun a heartfelt speech with no clear subject.

22:17Alma Callahan is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
22:20Wilf Tanner is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
