Day 4559
Day 4559 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. There were not enough plates at Linus Tidewater's, and nobody minded. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Sea Glass Season begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
