Today's field note from Sgt. Puppy and the morning watch at Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont.

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 11/10/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: ‘This is the camp. Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. Forty degrees and gray. The tire shop is booked three weeks out. Everybody saw the same forecast. It was Tuesday, November 10th. It was cold and overcast in Camp Puppy Haven, with snow in the forecast for Friday. We were working the day watch out of Snow Tire Queue Detail. My partner’s Murph. The boss is Lieutenant Birch. My name’s Puppy. A woman checked Friday’s forecast eleven times before lunch. It said the same thing every time. Her dog had been asleep since nine.’ Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
