Day 5759
Day 5759 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Marla Finch and Linus Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox. Marla Finch is not currently speaking to Linus Tidewater. Linus Tidewater 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. A Visitor Is Expected 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
00:00The town clock has stopped at twenty past four. Nobody can agree on when it happened, which is itself a problem of some irony.
07:00The Bakery's fresh bread smell has reached the town square. Productivity plummets.
12:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
12:16Word goes round that someone is coming to Seahaven Springs. Nobody is sure who.
13:33Ike Tidewater has hosted the thing they kept meaning to host.
14:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
16:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
19:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
19:18Fern Gorse is not brilliant at sketching the shoreline, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway.
19:48Sal Marino and Abel Callahan kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
20:14Linus Tidewater is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
20:17Marla Finch has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
20:18Wren Gorse is conducting an imaginary orchestra near the dartboard.
20:20Edie Gorse has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering.
21:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
21:00Commotion at The Anchor! Marla Finch and Linus Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox.
21:00Sheriff Brody has invited Linus Tidewater to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
22:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
22:17Perry Gorse has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:26Ned Ferris has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Wren Gorse and Hattie Whitlow came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg.
