Day 484
Day 484 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Kip Doyle came off worse in an argument with a garden gnome and a flowerbed and is spending a few days in Seahaven General. 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 Dog Nobody Owns takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
