Day 171
Day 171 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Fern Gorse 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
