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.
A simple post today, the retention pond on my walk. There's a duck and drake couple there, which kept disappearing into the foliage as I tried to catch them. You might see them. I just decided to show you the lot, so lovely just now. Nature has wildly improved a functional pond meant to prevent local flooding.
The pond is on the golf course, separated by a belt of huge old trees from my development.
Originally the course was developed as nine holes in order to provide a way of dispersing grey water from the development. This is not known by the golfers on today's eighteen hole course who complain the houses are too close!
On yesterday's walk I retrieved six golf balls, wildly out of bounds and yeeted them back onto the course for the benefit of the party of old duffers hacking their way around happily in the sunshine.
Happy day, everyone, enjoy what you do, doesn't matter if you're a champion.
