Seen in Banff outside a pet shop - 'Pet food, Live pets'.
And a full page story from the 'Rocky Mountain Outlook' about two women friends who had just dug up a 'time capsule' they had buried 14 years previously. It seems that one night in 1994 after drinking their share of red wine they had driven out into the bush and buried a white bucket full of bits and pieces.
I think the story swings on the following quote "The women...sit around a hole in the ground, sipping champagne. Smiles beam through their tear stained faces." Powerful stuff.
And the contents of the bucket?
In order, as listed by the newspaper, a purchase slip for the plastic bucket, mouldy letters - one written in lipstick, another with a Jamaican $20 bill and a condom attached, a foul smelling cigar, pictures of young children in Halloween costumes (no not their own children), a movie listing promoting True Lies with Arnold Schwartzenegger"
They must have drunk a lot of wine.
