Day 744
Day 744 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Marla Finch has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Marla Finch has found her weeks unaccountably full. Jonah Ferris was born to Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

00:00Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill.
08:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
09:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
10:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.

15:00Flo Tidewater noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully.
16:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
17:00Business is slow enough that Sal Marino has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
18:00Rex Callahan has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
18:04Talent Night scores are in — and so, apparently, is a travel itinerary.
