Time Capsule!

How cool. Someone left us a time capsule!

Removing the last bits of rotted wood in the corner of the kitchen, I came across this: a short little platform with the top boards painted green. There's no good reason for it to be there, unless maybe the builders had planned to construct all the base cabinets this way but changed their minds.

Prying off one of the boards, I saw something underneath.

It's a magazine! Carefully placed face-down and square to the cabinet was this February 7, 1967 issue of Look magazine. The address label on the front cover says Steven Radke, with this address. So we know these cabinets weren't built before that date.

How cool. We haven't opened the magazine yet. We just set it aside, in a safe place.

Thanks, Steven.
