Dear Temporal Theorists Inc.,
If you are flummoxed by the receipt of this 150-year-old letter, imagine my surprise when your “time probe” crashed onto my barn and prize winning cow, Darla.
Please use your equipment to send compensation to the amount of $100, American.
Respectfully,
D. Brown, Dakota Territory, 1889.

What is amazing here is that there is a certain kind of person I imagine, who would so calmly respond to the appearance of a time probe in their farm land. A very pragmatic and, simultaneously, very knowledgeable farmer who is probably super okay with his or her mortality…. By all that I mean, I see a great character here. Some farmer that has had more than one close encounter with some interesting things. lol.

Do you ever notice that the strange stuff always happens in the middle of nowhere? He may also have daily arguments with Bigfoot, or drink whiskey with him. ;-)

That last part. Yes. That part would be great. Especially if he has conversations with ‘em that’s more concerned with harvest than the fact he’s talking to a monster.
