Day 2536
Day 2536 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Gil Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Perry Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected 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
00:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
10:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
13:00A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried.
13:32The town waits. The road stays exactly as empty as it has always been.
15:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
16:00Business is slow enough that Perry Gorse has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
16:43Truman Beaumont and Kip Doyle kept their word and finished what they started.
17:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
18:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
19:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
20:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
20:00Rain fell in a single column, precisely on Truman Beaumont, and nowhere else in Seahaven Springs.
20:28Fern Gorse has begun issuing compliments in alphabetical order.
21:53Orson Ferris has begun a heartfelt speech with no clear subject.
21:59Hattie Whitlow has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
22:12Ewan Callahan has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
22:13Abel Callahan has explained the tides three times, differently each time.
22:16Milo Ferris has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
22:16Opal Ferris is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
22:44Rex Callahan has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
23:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
