Day 577
Day 577 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Flo Tidewater slipped on the wet planks down at the dock 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 Book Nobody Finished reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
