Day 586
Day 586 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Truman Beaumont has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. 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 Clock Is Two Minutes Fast runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

21:00Commotion at The Anchor! Elaine Whitlow and Rex Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox.
