Day 270
Day 270 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. 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. A Visitor Is Expected takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
