Day 169
Day 169 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hal Brody has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
