Here’s the note that’s going in the Time Capsule:  “Hello and welcome to the year 2008.  Cheers to you for fiinding this junk and hope your life is rich and rewarding.  This Time Capsule is being sealed on 26 February, 2008.  Contents selected by JHJ, born 05 July 1970.  Peace out!”

Here’s the contents:

Here’s what’s going in the Time Capsule (See TAD Day 04):  A deck of cards and a fortune from tonight’s fortune cookie (thanks  jocelyn); Five Bucks!; Old Man Reference Dime (the real McCoy (see TAD posts Day 24, 21, 12, 10, 09 and 02) … getting retired the Old Fashioned way … sealed in a wall!); a Bicentennial quarter (I’m trying to get them out of circulation); a used lift ticket to the aerial tram in Palm Springs, CA; Twinkies! (thanks Janet Kowal); a snap of a rainbow in the Arizona desert; and a Miller™ High Life™ bar coaster.

Also containing:  A snap of Jailbreak (my Jeep™ (named after an AC/DC song); a set of foam earplugs; a silly “sexy novelty” (from a coin-op machine in a bar); a small magnet of AC/DC’s “The Razor’s Edge” album art; a bottlecap from a bottle of Hite (Korean beer) (thanks again jocelyn); a hippo in red overalls finger puppet (did not make); a snap of me and my little wife snorkelling in Zihuatanejo, Gro, Mexico; and finally, a Polaroid™ of a unknown hotel room.

I’ll get a snap for posting tomorrow of the capsule itself (the paint is still drying.)  It’s just a flat, white box that will be sealed in a cool pink ziplock bag, so don’t get too excited.  Peace out!  -jhj
