Day 1197
Day 1197 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dot Ferris has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Rex Callahan. Opal Ferris was born to Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

07:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
09:00Dot Ferris has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
10:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
11:00The tide is out further than usual. Bev Tanner has gone to look at what it left behind.
12:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
12:12Nobody can establish what is being inspected, or by whom, or when.
12:58Jonah Ferris and Dot Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
15:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
16:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
16:21Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
17:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
18:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
21:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
