Day 179
Day 179 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Sal Marino has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. 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 Founders Day Festival Approaches 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
00:00Sal Marino has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
03:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
08:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
09:00Gus Tidewater has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
10:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Kip Doyle has been elected to deal with it.
10:00Dr. Cornelius Pratt took a tumble off a stepladder while rescuing a kite and is spending a few days in Seahaven General.
11:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
12:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
12:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
12:00Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster.
13:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
13:52Final preparations come together suspiciously well.
15:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
15:15The audience has spoken: tonight everyone is heading to The Anchor.
16:00A seagull has stolen Sal Marino's sandwich near the dock. Again.
17:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
17:41Truman Beaumont has finished making plans for the house, even if every corner is already spoken for.
18:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
19:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
22:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
22:20Rex has quietly moved Flo Tidewater onto the water. Flo Tidewater has not noticed.
