A ticket and some information on the new Acela trains Amtrak started running at the end of August. I think it would be interesting to see how they holdup and if they have been replaced or are still in service.

Buy several of them. Fill them with a variety of history books / firsthand video of meaningful events from multiple perspectives. There may come a time when these have been deliberately erased, the modern equivalent of book burning. “We have freedom of speech, except for those people I don’t like. Let’s spread ‘truth’ and shut them up.” One of the ugly things people do over and over. We swear we won’t repeat terrible history, but then a few generations pass and it happens again. We villify other people and say they are the ones who censor, and in doing so censor and silence them.

Our house is at least 100 years old. When we renovated our kitchen a few years ago, there was a section of wall with several layers of wallpaper from various decades.

Behind this spiffy 1950s wallpaper was a section of newspaper. I know it’s from 1954 because the caption of a photo talks about some member of something from 1954 to 1955.

If I could score a Bag o’ Crap, I am sure that would be something worthy of depositing in a time capsule.
Something for future generations to try to figure out.
