Day 2385
Day 2385 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. 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. What Our Song Actually Is reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster.
06:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
07:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
08:26Elaine Whitlow is not brilliant at sketching the shoreline, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway.
08:28Rue Callahan has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
09:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
09:08Toby Tanner has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do.
10:00A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried.
10:49Four versions are performed. All four are moving. None of them match.
11:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
12:00The tide is out further than usual. Toby Tanner has gone to look at what it left behind.
12:00Orson Ferris noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully.
14:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
15:03Truman Beaumont and Orson Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
15:17Jonah Ferris has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it.
16:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
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.
19:46Jonah Ferris offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
19:46Toby Tanner offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
20:18The Anchor's piano is being played by Lark Ferris, who cannot play piano.
21:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
21:04Abel Callahan has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
