The Dogs of San Francisco

I drove from Albany to Portland a couple weeks ago (that’s Albany, Oregon to Portland, Oregon, I didn’t jog over to the East Coast) and while I was heading up I stopped off at Silver Falls State Park. Most of the trails with waterfalls were closed due to landslides and that sort of thing, and I decided not to do the back-country trails, but there was a nice two-mile loop with two big waterfalls and several smaller ones that was well worth the trip. The two big falls have paths that go behind them, which were icy and muddy and icky and great fun, as long as you had big stompy backpacking boots like mine. One of the pictures below was taken outward through the falls, even!

Sigh. Software. Everything used to be so much quicker and easier to do in WordPress, as long as what you wanted to do was what 95% of people wanted to do. I counted the clicks back about ten years ago when they shifted from the regular editor to the block-based one, and posting these pictures would have required creating the article, then adding the text, then clicking ‘insert images’, then dragging the images to upload them, then shift-clicking to select all the images, and then selecting ‘insert’ to insert them all. Instead, everything before the image stuff takes more work, and once you get to the images, it now takes seven clicks per image. Progress is amazing, isn’t it?
