Day 685
Day 685 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Truman Beaumont and Hal Brody came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. 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 takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
