Day 814
Day 814 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Wonderful news: Flo Tidewater and Milo Ferris are expecting a baby. Norma has already started knitting. Rex Callahan is a delighted new parent. Sal Marino is a delighted new parent. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond 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
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.

18:40Rex Callahan and Sal Marino kept their word and finished what they started.
19:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
19:00A face Truman Beaumont last saw years ago walked by wearing a different coat and a different life.
19:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
20:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
21:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
