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

Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. The clerk's office, open Mondays. The post office, shut twelve to one. The bus turnaround at the top of the hill, wide enough for one bus. After that, woods. Inside the woods, us.
It was Monday, September 14th. It was cool in Camp Puppy Haven, warm by noon. We were working the day watch out of Empty House Advisory. My partner's The Goose. The boss is Commander Burl. My name's Puppy.
The house emptied at seven-forty. A woman apologized twice on her way out. The Goose was asleep before the car reached the road.
Sgt. Puppy's Field Notes are published most weekday mornings.
