Day 237
Day 237 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Gus Tidewater 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. A Visitor Is Expected runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Gus Tidewater has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
08:00The tide is out further than usual. Elaine Whitlow has gone to look at what it left behind.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
10:52Word goes round that someone is coming to Seahaven Springs. Nobody is sure who.
11:00Bev Tanner has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
12:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
13:00A seagull has stolen Gus Tidewater's sandwich near the dock. Again.
15:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
15:40Truman Beaumont and Flo Tidewater kept their word and finished what they started.
16:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
18:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
19:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.
20:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
20:39Gus Tidewater has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
21:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
21:33Rex has quietly moved Hal Brody onto the water. Hal Brody has not noticed.
21:39Rex Callahan has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
