Day 545
Day 545 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Milo Ferris has come down with a very sore back. Dr. Pratt is keeping them in for observation. Bev Tanner is grieving Gus Tidewater. Dot Ferris lost Dr. Cornelius Pratt after a long life together. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Anchor takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
