Day 5610
Day 5610 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. One small Seahaven question is settled, and Lark Ferris is already eyeing another. Abel Callahan has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
