Day 328
What a day in Seahaven Springs! The town clock stopped at twenty past four, and nobody could agree on when it happened—though that seemed almost beside the point when there were ladders to hold, bread smells to follow, and an orchard in full blossom to admire. Sal Marino faced off against a gull on the dock (the gull prevailed), the community came together with contradictory advice as they always do, and somewhere between the rainbow and the fog and the rain, Truman and Norma finished what they'd started, the traveling garden gnome moved houses again, and life in this quiet town simply hummed along—beautiful, ordinary, and just right.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00The town clock has stopped at twenty past four. Nobody can agree on when it happened, which is itself a problem of some irony.

05:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
08:00The Bakery's fresh bread smell has reached the town square. Productivity plummets.
