Day 4460
Day 4460 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. The tide is out further than usual. Hattie Whitlow has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
