Day 221
Day 221 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant. 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 reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
