Day 818
Day 818 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Milo Ferris has turned learning the orchard properly into a real part of life. Rex Callahan is a delighted new parent. Sal Marino is a delighted new parent. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
