Day 234
Day 234 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Sal Marino has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. 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. A Wager on the Weather 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
00:00Sal Marino has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake.
07:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
08:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
09:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
10:49The forecast is studied. Elbows are leaned on windowsills all over town.
12:00It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically.
12:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Milo Ferris has been elected to deal with it.
13:00The tide is out further than usual. Elaine Whitlow has gone to look at what it left behind.
14:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
15:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
16:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
17:00A seagull has stolen Truman Beaumont's sandwich near the dock. Again.
18:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.

19:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
