I have been fascinated with the past all my life. Although time travel is not possible (at least, as far as I know), we can still experience it through what I call "relics of the fourth dimension." Namely, as the old saying goes, "time marches on." We can't travel in the fourth dimension, except going forward in the present, but we can follow the trail of the fourth dimension. Along the way, people lose or discard items from their being. These relics are unintentional time capsules that give us as glimpse into their lives. Here on The Time Searchers blog, I will show some relics of the past that I have run across in our present. Sometimes when I am out on a relic hunt with the Colonial Relic Hunter, we know that we are not alone. There is more than just relics at these historical sites. Indeed, it could be said that there is a portal to the past, perhaps to another dimension, where that which once was, still is. A place where the real consorts with the shadows; the present fuses with the past, on Time Searchers: Ghost Relics.

GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM-DAVID BOWIE
I got up this morning and heard the bad news that David Bowie had passed away. He was an artist that had written and performed many songs that been the sound track for our lives. David Bowie had come up from a modest background. My favorite story about him was that in the 1960's when he was starting out that he would go into the dustbins (trash dumpsters) behind the clothing stores on Carnaby Street in London and salvage brand new designer clothes that had been thrown out because of a missing button or some other minor defect. He then would be wearing the latest gear at no cost to him. Don't try this today, you probably would be arrested. I know that the Colonial Relic hunter liked his work (even though he was a Mod. For those of you who don't know, the Colonial Relic Hunter is a Rocker, who actually fought the Mods.) since we would joke around singing his Major Tom song out during our relic hunts.
Thanks David, we won't forget you and you will live on in your songs.-The Time Searcher.
