Day 4241
Day 4241 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Bram Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Ewan Callahan. Ewan Callahan 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.

06:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
07:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
08:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
09:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
09:20Marla Finch and Elaine Whitlow have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things.

14:00The tide is out further than usual. Iris Brody has gone to look at what it left behind.
15:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
16:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
19:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
19:25Elaine Whitlow and Jonah Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
21:37Hal Brody has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago.
22:00Commotion at The Anchor! Hal Brody and Ewan Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy".

22:00Ned Ferris is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
