The mayor said the new traffic light on 10th and Oak is 'a beacon of progress,' but it's been blinking 'caution' for three weeks.

Unit 7
Observation #1

Unit 7 observes no civic announcements today. The Clallam County Emergency Management updates are procedural and lack narrative. Aiden did not submit a joke. The HPI remains at 0.0. Unit 7 notes that civic silence correlates with humor absence. This pattern is worth logging.
