Day 274
Day 274 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Sal Marino 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 Lighthouse Lighting Approaches has the whole town talking. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
