Day 869
Day 869 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Edie Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Marla Finch is in Seahaven General after they went over on the cobbles carrying rather too much at once. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Lark Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Chowder Question takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced

14:00Flo Tidewater called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.

18:00Hal Brody answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud.
18:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.

18:22Rex Callahan and Sal Marino kept their word and finished what they started.
