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.
Yesterday after the herculean task with the ficus, I spent the afternoon outside, stitching and watching a movie. Multitasking. Blessedly the season is turning and it was possible to be outside without a storm of allergy results.
So I really enjoyed a peaceful afternoon, watching a free YouTube movie, The Madness of King George. It's old and I still hadn't seen it. And it's worth seeing again.
Poor picture, best I could do.
It's wonderful, sad and here and there funny -- wave and smile, it's what they pay us for -- and deeply true. "I was always myself. Now I remember how to seem myself" after a terrible bout of mental illness treated with the primitive methods of the time.
It was probably porphyria, little understood then, an inherited blood disorder. It affects a lot of the systems, including the brain. Rages can be a part of it. Some modern day royals have been in known for rages, which makes me wonder if they're affected. One younger royal who died young in a plane crash, had been diagnosed. All the more reason for marrying unrelated commoners such as Meghan and Kate and that rugger player, much better for their descendants.
This is the end of my totally unqualified genetics lecture.
Today, honey crisp apples in at the farm. Off there after Bad Food lunch for the holiday. Hot dogs, potato chips. No pix, not done yet, and you know what they look like!
My Essential Worker Son, working this weekend, acknowledges all the wild cheering and stamping in his honor on Labor Day!
If it's Labor Day where you are, enjoy! If it's just a Monday, enjoy the day.
