Day 799
Day 799 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. BREAKING: Sheriff's 'Pond Incident' file gains a new page — ripple diagrams included. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Kip Doyle is in Seahaven General after they slipped on the wet planks down at the dock. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
