Day 3694
Day 3694 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Iris Brody and Ned Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Iris Brody is not currently speaking to Ned Ferris. Ned Ferris is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Case of the Missing Harmonica takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
05:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
06:52Kip Doyle has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down.
08:00A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried.
09:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Linus Tidewater has been elected to deal with it.
09:32Cole Whitlow and Opal Ferris have got into the habit of each other.
10:00Ewan Callahan has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
10:49Hal Brody claims to have seen the harmonica somewhere improbable.
12:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
12:00Wilf Tanner fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed.
12:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
13:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
14:00Nothing whatsoever is happening in Seahaven Springs. Wilf Tanner appears to be enjoying it.
15:00Business is slow enough that Rex Callahan has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
16:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
18:00The tide is out further than usual. Dell Tanner has gone to look at what it left behind.
19:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
19:28Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Hal Brody onto the water. Hal Brody has not noticed.
19:37Fern Gorse and Lark Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
19:45Ewan Callahan offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
20:50Orson Ferris has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
21:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
21:01Iris Brody has proposed a toast to the concept of Thursdays.
22:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
22:00Commotion at The Anchor! Iris Brody and Ned Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg.
22:00Sheriff Brody has invited Ned Ferris to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
