Day 4621
Day 4621 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. Three separate neighbours greeted Truman Beaumont with the identical sentence this morning. Abel Callahan is in Seahaven General after they came off worse in an argument with a garden gnome and a flowerbed. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
