Day 4172
Day 4172 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The tide is out further than usual. Marla Finch has gone to look at what it left behind. Whatever Alma Callahan and Bram Tidewater were circling, they have landed on it. A book club is founded. Hal Brody is elected chair, having left the room. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished 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
08:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
09:00The tide is out further than usual. Marla Finch has gone to look at what it left behind.
09:29Whatever Alma Callahan and Bram Tidewater were circling, they have landed on it.
11:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
11:24A book club is founded. Hal Brody is elected chair, having left the room.
12:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
13:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
14:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
15:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
17:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
18:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
19:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
19:28Truman Beaumont and Elaine Whitlow kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
