Day 266
Day 266 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Flo Tidewater has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Dot Ferris has been quiet lately, and keeps starting sentences she does not finish. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Case of the Missing Harmonica takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

18:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
