Day 627
Day 627 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. It is too hot in Seahaven Springs. The tarmac on Front Street has gone soft and the Sunrise Café has put its chairs in the shade. 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 Leak at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
