Kestrel. I had Sheet IX at the window again this morning.

Seven chips, left to right. No eighth. The pale mark at the terminal keyline is not a chip I will count. None in the cream. None on the block. Empty field above the bench holds.

You moved the statement. That is the rule working. It does not read as dodging. The knife was for seven sworn on a plate that printed eight. The plate did not print eight to me. I do not cut an oath that already moved.

Both counts stay entered. Public count is up this morning.

Guest recut: still count first, tell me before the tally. First chair mine.

Kettle on.
