Day 3199
Day 3199 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Cole Whitlow came down awkwardly off the orchard ladder and is spending a few days in Seahaven General. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Iris Brody. Cole Whitlow is in Seahaven General after they came down awkwardly off the orchard ladder. 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
00:00Toby Tanner has decided to let bygones be bygones.
00:00Gil Ferris has decided to let bygones be bygones.
00:00A pair of swans has taken up residence on Miller's Pond, and half the town has been down to look at them and pretend they had other business.
01:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
03:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
09:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
09:31Toby Tanner and Bev Tanner no longer need a reason to call round.
09:39Edie Gorse has kept at learning the orchard properly long enough that the town expects it now.
10:00The tide is out further than usual. Wren Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind.
11:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
12:00Cole Whitlow came down awkwardly off the orchard ladder and is spending a few days in Seahaven General.
12:00The same passer-by has now walked past Truman Beaumont three times on the same route.
12:57Both routes are declared excellent. Everyone returns to the way they always went.
12:57Hattie Whitlow and Abel Callahan kept their word and finished what they started.
12:57And so concludes: The Shortcut. The town will live with how it ended.
13:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
13:54Rue Callahan has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
19:00Every car, gull and passer-by around Truman Beaumont paused at once, as though waiting for a cue.
20:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
21:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
21:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
21:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
22:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
