June-July 2051. The co-op agent pencils Ken's lime for October 9-20 and gives Janelle a deadline: seven more before-storms in fifteen weeks. She catches a Fourth of July rising limb with her kid holding the light, watches the ash vendor's agent quote her district's dilution plot to pitch Marcy Kuhl, refuses to pad a dry July with baseflow, and proves a mower-knocked staff gauge against a benchmark nail before she'll count the storm. Seven of twelve.
