Day 1097
Day 1097 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Jonah Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Milo Ferris. Percy is staying with Hal Brody for a few days. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Jonah Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
00:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
09:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
09:42Abel Callahan has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now.
10:00The Bakery's fresh bread smell has reached the town square. Productivity plummets.
10:00Flo Tidewater called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
12:40Truman Beaumont spotted sketching a map on a napkin at the Sunrise Café — Dot Tanner nodding thoughtfully.
13:00Fern Gorse answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud.
13:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
14:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
15:00Nothing whatsoever is happening in Seahaven Springs. Bev Tanner appears to be enjoying it.
15:00Three separate neighbours greeted Truman Beaumont with the identical sentence this morning.
16:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
18:00Something glinted in the hedge at eye height, tracking Truman Beaumont as he passed.
18:03Truman Beaumont seen pacing Founders Park with a napkin map; Elaine Whitlow seen watering roses and nodding.
19:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
19:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
19:23Jonah Ferris is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
19:48Marla Finch is describing a fish that grows between each telling.
20:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
20:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
20:00Truman Beaumont offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
20:35Bev Tanner is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
21:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
21:20Abel Callahan has explained the tides three times, differently each time.
22:20Lark Ferris has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
