Day 652
Day 652 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Dot Ferris 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 Leak at The Anchor takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
