Day 701
Day 701 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The mackerel have moved on. Seahaven Springs will be eating fish for a week regardless. Bev Tanner is grieving June Ellery. Dot Ferris lost Dr. Cornelius Pratt after a long life together. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
