Day 242
Day 242 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Pearl Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. 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. The Anonymous Good Deed 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
04:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
05:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
07:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
08:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
11:35Theories multiply at the café. Rex Callahan starts a suspect list.
12:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
13:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Rex Callahan has been elected to deal with it.
16:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
18:00Pearl Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
18:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
19:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
20:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
21:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
