Day 636
Day 636 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Lark Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. 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.
