A letter from the past

Dear FutureMe, First of all, be sure to take that "thing" I buried in the back yard and move it to a safer location before the building commission gives permission to build on the property. Secondly, after retrieving said "thing", be certain that its hosed down properly and soaked in bleach. Thirdly, if the "thing" isnt there, then we must have changed our minds in my near future and in your near past.
