OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Norma Quist has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake.
00:00Walt Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
00:00Walt Gorse has moved away to take a position inland. It was all very sudden, and the removal van came at first light.
00:00[CONTROL] Walt Gorse's departure was staged. There is a new stone by the pond. Truman has been told about the job inland.
01:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
02:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
07:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
10:00Kip Doyle has come down with a spectacular head cold. Dr. Pratt is keeping them in for observation.
10:41The lighthouse postcard is found — it was borrowed, not stolen. All is forgiven over coffee.
10:41And so concludes: The Case of the Missing Lighthouse Postcard. All is well in Seahaven Springs.
11:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
13:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
15:00Gus Tidewater has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
16:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
18:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
19:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
20:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
22:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Gus denies everything.
