Day 129
Day 129 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Rex Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

09:00Bev Tanner called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
09:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
