Day 300
Day 300 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Elaine Whitlow came off worse in an argument with a garden gnome and a flowerbed and is spending a few days in Seahaven General. 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. Something in the Pond reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
