Day 5599

Day 5599 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful. A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
