We’ve sure been through a lot in these 250 Years. I’m 82...so I take up almost a third of the time.
Buried time capsules are often destroyed by water or forgotten about. Moisture always wins, plastic becomes brittle, records get misplaced. Best practice is to keep time capsules visible - like a decoration or a piece of furniture. Live with it and remind new generations about it.
forgive this thread-hijacking digression ...
This reminds me of a story I read years ago about a midwest high school class who wrote notes and stashed them in the ball finial of the flagpole. I think they were writing to themselves in the future and described what they thought they would be doing with their lives. The time capsule was forgotten about for many decades until the pole was taken down. Many of the boys talked about how they expected to be farmers. I have unsuccessfully searched high and low for this story. If anyone here recalls the story about the time capsule in the flagpole finial, I would be very grateful if you could point me to where I could read the original story again. Thanks. Sorry for the hijacking. FRegards.
Put a woke democrap in it.
