Dan,
I think what is happening is you have your email set to wrap outgoing
text at a specific line length. When you email your text to your blog,
Posterous just accepts that default line length and confines the text to

I use Posterous, which is an easy and simple blog. I just send the
text and attachments by email, and they imput it into their standard
format. Because of this, I don't have a lot of control over the blog
set-up.

Your comment on the appearance of the blog puzzles me. I don't see
any such line on my monitor, nor do I see what you refer to as
"endless gray." If it is on your monitor, it must be on others as
well. Since I don't see it, it is hard for
xt to tell that part of the diner story.

It's a nice photo, but I agree about the lower 3rd of the photo. The

therefore dominates the image. The eye scans the area and tries to
