Day 576
Day 576 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it. 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 Book Nobody Finished reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
