/* ============================================================
   THE ROUTE MAP · v2.1.2 — BLOG
   "Food for thought" — the client's own name for it.

   The blog is the one Read surface on this site, so it is the
   plainest thing here: no map, no plate, no night ground. Paper,
   one column, serif, and the itinerary register doing the index.

   Everything below is the same system as index.html — the tokens
   are copied verbatim, and the rail and footer are the same
   components. Only .post-* and .prose are new.
