Day 2628
Day 2628 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. [CONTROL] Elaine Whitlow has been flagged. She has started to find it difficult, and she is close enough to Truman Beaumont for that to matter. Hal Brody and Iris Brody no longer need a reason to call round. Ike Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00[CONTROL] Elaine Whitlow has been flagged. She has started to find it difficult, and she is close enough to Truman Beaumont for that to matter.
02:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
05:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
07:23Hal Brody and Iris Brody no longer need a reason to call round.
08:00The tide is out further than usual. Dell Tanner has gone to look at what it left behind.
08:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
08:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
09:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
09:00Rue Callahan noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully.
10:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Ike Tidewater has been elected to deal with it.
10:00Toby Tanner nearly answered Truman Beaumont early, and turned it into a cough.
11:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
12:00It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically.
12:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
12:49The Lighthouse Lighting is held and is, of course, lovely.
12:49Iris Brody and Kip Doyle kept their word and finished what they started.
12:49And so concludes: The Lighthouse Lighting Approaches. The town will live with how it ended.
14:24Rue Callahan has finally had everyone round. Nobody left early.
16:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
18:55Rex Callahan and Ned Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
19:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
20:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
20:00Rain fell in a single column, precisely on Truman Beaumont, and nowhere else in Seahaven Springs.
22:11Abel Callahan has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago.
22:20Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Opal Ferris onto the water. Opal Ferris has not noticed.
22:21Jonah Ferris has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
