Day 687
Day 687 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Norma Quist 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 Motion Still Pending takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
