Day 1951
Day 1951 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Truman Beaumont is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Rex Callahan. Hal Brody is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
05:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
08:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
08:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
09:00Bram Tidewater has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
10:00The Bakery's fresh bread smell has reached the town square. Productivity plummets.
10:00Orson Ferris called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
12:00Orson Ferris noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully.
13:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
13:08Rain or no rain, a certain oak-tree project presses on — sources say it's 'almost finished, for real this time.'
14:00Truman Beaumont is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
14:00Toby Tanner answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud.
14:29One small Seahaven question is settled, and Linus Tidewater is already eyeing another.
15:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
15:22Local artists brave East Beach's weather for the sake of Art; East Beach wins.
17:00A face Truman Beaumont last saw years ago walked by wearing a different coat and a different life.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
18:00The tide is out further than usual. Ewan Callahan has gone to look at what it left behind.
18:00Sal Marino got bowled over by an over-enthusiastic seagull and is spending a few days in Seahaven General.
18:45Word travels fast at The Anchor tonight — faster than Rex's sketches dried, anyway.
19:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
19:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
19:26Hal Brody is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
19:42Bram Tidewater offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
20:00Commotion at The Anchor! Hal Brody and Rex Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox.
20:00Sheriff Brody has invited Hal Brody to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
20:04Truman Beaumont is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
20:23Linus Tidewater has begun issuing compliments in alphabetical order.
20:37Elaine Whitlow offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
20:55Hattie Whitlow is describing a fish that grows between each telling.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
22:55Bea Callahan has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
