Day 683
Day 683 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bunting has gone up across Founders Park. The fair is on, and the committee is being very firm about the bunting. 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 Motion Still Pending runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
