Day 600
Day 600 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Rex Callahan and Dot Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". 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 Loaf That Cannot Be Repeated reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
