Day 3789
Day 3789 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The Sheriff declares the town safe and returns to the crossword. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Mabel Tidewater. Mabel Tidewater 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
04:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
05:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
06:57The Anchor's piano is being played by Hattie Whitlow, who cannot play piano.
07:42Fern Gorse has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down.
08:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
08:28One small Seahaven question is settled, and Opal Ferris is already eyeing another.
09:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
09:00Dell Tanner nearly answered Truman Beaumont early, and turned it into a cough.
09:19There were not enough plates at Kip Doyle's, and nobody minded.
10:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
11:00Rex Callahan has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
13:00The tide is out further than usual. Jonah Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind.
13:23Whatever Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan were circling, they have landed on it.
13:47The Sheriff declares the town safe and returns to the crossword.
13:47Truman Beaumont and Milo Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
13:47And so concludes: A Quiet Week for the Sheriff. The town will live with how it ended.
16:00Business is slow enough that Elaine Whitlow has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
17:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
19:59Jonah Ferris and Ewan Callahan kept their word and finished what they started.
21:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
21:59Opal Ferris has explained the tides three times, differently each time.
22:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.

22:12Edie Gorse has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
22:14Gil Ferris is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
22:18Abel Callahan is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
22:24Mabel Tidewater has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:25Rex Callahan has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
23:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Lark Ferris and Mabel Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over a disagreement over who really caught the biggest fish.
23:00Sheriff Brody has invited Mabel Tidewater to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
