I don't want to have to create a blog

As you can see there are no pictutres here. I just wanted to respond to a photo in a friend's blog, but already this whole process has become labor intensive. What should have taken only a few seconds has now telescoped into a quarter hour diversion. And that's not "diversion" in the good productive sense: that sense of a pleasant afternoon spent wandering among books in an old library or hiking through woods filled with springtime blossoms. This is a diversion in the sense of a long torturous detour on unpaved roads of an indeterminent length.
