FIELD NOTE
A number on a board that goes down by one every morning is a clock everybody can read.
Eli Turner wrote a ten in one square of the barn board and a nine in the next day and an eight in the one after that, all the way to the edge of the wood.

EP033 releases Saturday at 1200 Eastern for Part 1 and Sunday for Part 2.
Season 2 runs two parts to an episode. Paid subscribers get each part the day it drops. Free subscribers wait a week.
