Day 888
Day 888 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Lark Ferris. Bea Callahan was born to Rex Callahan and Sal Marino. 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.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
09:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
10:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
10:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
10:00Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster.
10:26Both chowders stay on the menu. Everyone claims this was their idea.
10:26Dot Ferris and Elaine Whitlow kept their word and finished what they started.
10:26And so concludes: The Chowder Question. The town will live with how it ended.
11:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
11:49Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
12:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
13:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
14:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
16:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
16:00The same passer-by has now walked past Truman Beaumont three times on the same route.
17:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
20:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
21:01Dot Ferris and Elaine Whitlow kept their word and finished what they started.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
22:14Lark Ferris has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering.
22:23The Anchor's piano is being played by Milo Ferris, who cannot play piano.
23:26Rex Callahan has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
