Time in a Bottle

On Sunday C and H buried a time capsule in the back yard. The capsule was a peanut butter jar filled with a variety of random objects and a note that read, "this is a vere old note from the 2 hundridits."
Two days later, on Tuesday, they dug up the capsule and marveled at how no dirt had gotten inside.
Considering our current penchant for instant messaging, instant gratification, and instant oatmeal, they should be commending for waiting as long as they did.
