Day 702
Day 702 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Lark Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. 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.
