Day 629
Day 629 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Hal Brody and Dot Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox. 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.
