Day 749
Day 749 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bev Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Marla Finch has found her weeks unaccountably full. Jonah Ferris was born to Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
