Day 1676
Day 1676 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Abel Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Rue Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Wilf Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Abel Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
00:00The town clock has stopped at twenty past four. Nobody can agree on when it happened, which is itself a problem of some irony.
08:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
10:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
11:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
12:00It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically.
12:00Rue Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
13:00Hal Brody has come down with a headache that has outstayed its welcome and is being kept in for observation.
13:55The ladder is declared communal property and immediately borrowed by Hal Brody.
13:55Truman Beaumont and Hal Brody kept their word and finished what they started.
13:55And so concludes: Whose Ladder Is This. The town will live with how it ended.
14:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
15:00The tide is out further than usual. Bram Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind.
15:23Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
17:00Milo Ferris has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
19:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
22:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
22:10Abel Callahan has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
22:29Fern Gorse has begun issuing compliments in alphabetical order.
