Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
This title sounds like a Monty Python sketch about BBC news.
Yesterday Gary presented me with two garden chairs surplus to requirement, after cleaning them up with Borax.
At his suggestion, the other chair, the weird greenish one, is now lodged in the clump of trees outside, where the kids play clubhouse. They'll like it.
So now it's four chairs, back to an even number.. but three are grouped, to satisfy aesthetic sensibility. Also the space available.
I followed up on Mary's comment to Steve and I'm now deep in this
It's about the legal confusion around growing poppies, and the potential fallout on innocent people just experimenting with gardening poppies.
The section about seeds may explain why there were suddenly several years when I couldn't get poppyseeds to put on my bread, after buying them easily in the baking section of the supermarket. I just checked and now they seem to be available again.
I remember knowing enough about poppyseeds to warn the students we worked with in a work co-op project at the local college, to avoid eating poppyseed bagels for a few days before drug testing. Evidently it tests like heroin in the fairly crude testing process, and would fail a drug test.
Talk about living dangerously, Pollan, such a great name for his work, innocently growing poppies to maybe make tea, found he could have lost everything to forfeiture.
Yesterday exhaustion took over, and I slept all afternoon, then supper, shower and slept all night. This medical stuff isn't for wimps. Too bad I'm a wimp..
Ink and brush today.
Also rain and cool weather, more like spring than the first days of summer. I'm liking it.
