Day 4996
Day 4996 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Jonah Ferris and Wilf Tanner came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Jonah Ferris is not currently speaking to Wilf Tanner. Perry Gorse is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
08:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
08:00Linus Tidewater nearly answered Truman Beaumont early, and turned it into a cough.
09:00Alma Callahan has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
10:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
11:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
13:34Theories multiply at the café. Wren Gorse starts a suspect list.
13:38Alma Callahan and Marla Finch have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things.
13:57Flo Ferris and Bram Tidewater have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
15:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
15:31Sal Marino's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches.
16:00Business is slow enough that Opal Ferris has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
17:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
18:00Sal Marino has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
19:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
19:26Rex Callahan is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
19:32There were not enough plates at Cole Whitlow's, and nobody minded.
19:52Wilf Tanner has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
20:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
20:26The Anchor's piano is being played by Iris Brody, who cannot play piano.
20:50Bram Tidewater has explained the tides three times, differently each time.
21:25Dot Ferris has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
22:00Commotion at The Anchor! Jonah Ferris and Wilf Tanner came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy".
22:09Ned Ferris has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
