Day 541
Day 541 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fern Gorse has come down with a mystery rash Dr. Pratt is thoroughly enjoying. Dr. Pratt is keeping them in for observation. 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. Something in the Pond reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
