Day 656
Day 656 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Flo Tidewater has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris lost Dr. Cornelius Pratt after a long life together. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Kip Doyle. 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 flour has arrived. The Bakery smells like itself again.
02:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
07:00The Bakery's fresh bread smell has reached the town square. Productivity plummets.
08:00The tide is out further than usual. Edie Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind.
09:00Marla Finch has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
10:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
11:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Flo Tidewater has been elected to deal with it.
11:17The roof is mended. The bucket is kept, on principle.
11:17Truman Beaumont and Fern Gorse kept their word and finished what they started.
11:17And so concludes: The Leak at The Anchor. The town will live with how it ended.
13:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.

19:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.

20:46Milo Ferris is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
21:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Gus denies everything.
21:00Flo Tidewater has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
21:12The Anchor's piano is being played by Norma Quist, who cannot play piano.
22:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
22:00Commotion at The Anchor! Lark Ferris and Edie Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox.
22:00Sheriff Brody has invited Lark Ferris to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
23:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
