Day 798
Day 798 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Sheriff Brody opens a new file: 'The Pond Incident.' No suspects. Several ducks. Kip Doyle slipped on the wet planks down at the dock and is spending a few days in Seahaven General. Kip Doyle is in Seahaven General after they slipped on the wet planks down at the dock. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond 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

08:00The Bakery's fresh bread smell has reached the town square. Productivity plummets.
09:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
09:24Lark Ferris and Milo Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
11:00The tide is out further than usual. Edie Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind.
13:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
13:30Truman Beaumont spotted crouching by Miller's Pond, muttering to a duck that isn't there.
13:56Marla Finch has turned keeping a notebook about the pond into a real part of life.
15:25The Bakery is rationing flour, but not, apparently, affection.
16:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
17:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
18:00Jonah Ferris has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
18:24Sheriff Brody opens a new file: 'The Pond Incident.' No suspects. Several ducks.
19:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
19:00Kip Doyle slipped on the wet planks down at the dock and is spending a few days in Seahaven General.
20:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
21:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
