Day 479
Day 479 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Dot Ferris lost Dr. Cornelius Pratt after a long life together. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Seed Loaf Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
