We recently received this note. We can not independently verify the facts, but reprint it in its entirety: Future archeologists have left us a series of Letters from the Future, trying to decipher what we were thinking back in the 21st Century.  We, in their past, will find and investigate the various locations and artifacts which apparently will no longer exist in the future.  At each discovery we will present and perform the appropriate Letter from the Future and try to understand their understanding…

Well, here's your opportunity to square up the mismatch. From WSDOT: On Friday, September 20, Seattleites can participate in PARK(ing) Day and help to create a walkable, livable and healthy city.
