I was in the process of putting up these photos along with some extra descriptions/commentary, but I managed to hit the browser refresh keyboard combination in Safari (command-R) as I was nearing the end of the post. I just don’t have the energy to rewrite everything I had previously, so I’ll just put the photos up. Note to self: When writing a big post in the future, do it in BBEdit rather than directly in the browser!
