Imagine that you have moved to a new house in an older neighborhood. There is a giant tree in the backyard that provides a lot of shade for you to sit in while reading a book. This morning, when you were sitting against the tree, your dog started digging near the roots. Curious about what he was trying to find, you got up to take a closer look. You started to see something shiny and decided to help little Dog dig up the item. You have discovered a time capsule left behind by the prior homeowners, the Dloc family.
