Absurdity, Allegory and China

Went to the Flickr site at 5 AM this morning, and no photos display. Perhaps it’s a problem with Flickr, but there is always that nagging feeling that it’s now blocked. One never knows. And it’s not as if there’s anyone to call and ask, “Excuse me, boss, is this particular URL now on the blocked list?” Chances are that there is a problem elsewhere, but one just never knows.
