Day 422
Day 422 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The gift-giver is revealed to be the least suspected resident, who is thanked with a modest ceremony. 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

00:00The fair is over and the bunting is down. Two flags remain, and will remain, in a tree.
03:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
07:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
10:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Edie Gorse has been elected to deal with it.
11:00Edie Gorse has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
12:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.

12:27Truman Beaumont and Gus Tidewater kept their word and finished what they started.
12:27And so concludes: The Anonymous Good Deed. The town will live with how it ended.
13:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
13:00Kip Doyle twisted an ankle chasing a runaway shopping trolley and is spending a few days in Seahaven General.
15:00Kip Doyle is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
17:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
18:00A seagull has stolen Abel Callahan's sandwich near the dock. Again.
18:53Fern Gorse and Flo Tidewater kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Gus denies everything.
20:43Gus Tidewater has proposed a toast to the concept of Thursdays.
22:34Fern Gorse has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
