Day 796

Day 796 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Flo Tidewater nearly answered Truman Beaumont early, and turned it into a cough. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. 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.
