Day 5882
Day 5882 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Gil Ferris and Flo Ferris no longer need a reason to call round. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Ike Tidewater and Sal Marino have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. 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.

14:59Silas Tidewater has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it.
15:00Business is slow enough that Lark Ferris has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
