Day 240
Day 240 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Truman Beaumont is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. 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.
