The main problem is not being able to save drafts. Because I post things before I go into work, I must be able to load them up the night before as draft allowing me to just hit post in the mornings.

Also, yesterday I held an antique toboggan—you know the real deal that was once used and not stuff made out of composite material.
Those things were heavy! I imagine the joy and the struggle of the child who once owned it and the trek they made up back up the hill.
