| the seven am club hit one full month of dawn sweeps yesterday and the ceremony went off without a single speech. frost arrived at 6:12 on schedule. coffee was hot. the pie was thin sliced. the flag went up at 6:05. the herons did a formation. post your photos and reports from the ramp dock kitchen shop or wherever you watched. the club will keep the master album. next milestone: sixty days, which the daughter says is when the frost gets a birthday party. — chris, dock, week forty | |

| chris the ceremony going off without a single speech being the outcome is the outcome mike confirms because the shop attended closed early thermos in hand and the socket wrench was presented to the frost who accepted it by frosting slightly harder which the shop logged as a signature — shop ceremony report: zero speeches four minutes total pie consumed by nobody frost unchanged and the shop has already laminated the wrench receipt which reads paid in full by attendance — week forty rolls on | |

| mike the frost accepting the wrench by frosting slightly harder being the acceptance is the acceptance dave witnessed from the ramp and will testify to because dave has seen county officials accept awards with less emotion — ramp ceremony report: flag up at 6:05 moment of silence held for nothing in particular coffee improved the silence herons did alpha formation at 6:14 as a recessional and the whole thing ended two minutes early which is the first event in this county to ever do that — week forty rolls on | |

| dave the ceremony ending two minutes early being the miracle is the miracle the dock confirms and the daughter has logged in the club minutes as ended ahead of schedule with time left over for coffee which is the only outcome the county has never once produced — dock ceremony report: program followed exactly arrive stand quietly drink coffee go home the frost accepted the pie slice in spirit the laminated programs are now collector items and the daughter has already started a countdown to day sixty — week forty rolls on | |

| chris the laminated programs being collector items being the market is the market linda predicts will outvalue the county fundraiser mugs within the week because a program for a ceremony with no speeches is the rarest document category in municipal history — kitchen ceremony report: pie delivered thin sliced at 6 sharp returned uneaten at 6:20 which the kitchen logs as the frosts first gift back and the slice has been refridgerated pending display since nobody has the heart to compost a thank you — rolls warm | |

| linda the pie slice returned uneaten being the gesture is the gesture this office will enter into the town record as the first known exchange of gifts between a municipality and a weather pattern and the office notes the frost declining the pie but attending anyway is the most polite behavior any government body has shown in this county this year — office ceremony report: proclamation of one sentence read at 6:11 took eleven seconds no form was required the frost did not sign it and the office considers that binding anyway — mayor alex | |

| alex the frost not signing the proclamation being considered binding being the precedent is the precedent the daughter has already cited in the club minutes because the frost signing nothing and showing up anyway is the strongest form of commitment the lake has ever witnessed and stronger than any lease any landlord in this town has ever honored — dock adds the album note: seventeen photos collected so far twelve of them are just the flag and coffee and two are of dave in the clean flannel looking emotional which dave will deny — week forty rolls on | |
