Day 153
Day 153 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Gus Tidewater got bowled over by an over-enthusiastic seagull and is spending a few days in Seahaven General. 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. The Case of the Missing Prize Pie reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
02:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.

09:00Gus Tidewater got bowled over by an over-enthusiastic seagull and is spending a few days in Seahaven General.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.

10:31Search parties fan out across town, checking porches, shops, and every unlikely corner.

12:00June Ellery is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
13:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.

15:11Truman Beaumont and Dot Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
16:00Sal Marino has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
17:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
18:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
18:00Three separate neighbours greeted Truman Beaumont with the identical sentence this morning.
19:00Elaine Whitlow fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed.
19:00Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster.
22:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Gus denies everything.
22:54Fern Gorse has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
