Day 401
Day 401 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bev Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Dog Nobody Owns runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Bev Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
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.
07:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
09:15Dot Ferris has turned keeping a notebook about the pond into a real part of life.
10:00Bev Tanner answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud.
12:00Dot Ferris has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
12:34Bev Tanner and Kip Doyle have cleared the air over a quiet chat.

13:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
13:00The dock has been closed for maintenance, effective this morning. It was not closed yesterday.
13:00Somebody has been asked to need Truman Beaumont's help with something small and absorbing.
14:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
15:00Business is slow enough that Gus Tidewater has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
16:00Fern Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
17:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
18:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
19:19Elaine Whitlow has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now.
19:35Fern Gorse has finished making plans for the house, even if every corner is already spoken for.
19:46Rex has quietly moved Rex Callahan onto the water. Rex Callahan has not noticed.
20:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
21:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Gus denies everything.
21:06Norma Quist and Flo Tidewater kept their word and finished what they started.
21:53Rex has quietly moved Fern Gorse onto the water. Fern Gorse has not noticed.
22:44Flo Tidewater has proposed a toast to the concept of Thursdays.
