OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
04:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
07:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.
09:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
10:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.

11:00Dot Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
11:00The same passer-by has now walked past Truman Beaumont three times on the same route.
13:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
14:00A face Truman Beaumont last saw years ago walked by wearing a different coat and a different life.
14:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
14:54Hal Brody is not brilliant at sketching the shoreline, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway.
15:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
15:42Whatever Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan were circling, they have landed on it.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.

19:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
20:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
