Day 2369

Day 2369 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The fair is over and the bunting is down. Two flags remain, and will remain, in a tree. Mabel Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Dell Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCAST

What was announced

00:00The fair is over and the bunting is down. Two flags remain, and will remain, in a tree.
05:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
08:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
09:00Three separate neighbours greeted Truman Beaumont with the identical sentence this morning.
10:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
11:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
12:00It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically.
12:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
12:00Rue Callahan answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud.
12:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
12:06Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things.
13:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
13:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
14:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
14:28Something is moving in Miller's Pond, and Truman Beaumont would like it identified.
15:00The tide is out further than usual. Sal Marino has gone to look at what it left behind.
18:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
19:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
19:15Dot Ferris has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
20:43Elaine Whitlow and Milo Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
21:29Lark Ferris has explained the tides three times, differently each time.
21:52Ned Ferris has proposed a toast to the concept of Thursdays.
22:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
22:08Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Opal Ferris onto the water. Opal Ferris has not noticed.
22:09Hattie Whitlow is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
22:28Abel Callahan has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
