Not his fault your terminal supports more than 80 character rows. (If you got Firefox click the reader mode in the right of the URL bar).

Honest question: what was the problem? The photographs? Photographs are almost always junk in an article, and this article was no exception, except it had the saving grace that this was his swan’s song,so why not (and there were merely three). But it was a simple text layout for a short article. Personally I can’t complain. Hence I ask what I’m missing.

  It only looks that way because the link to its stylesheet is broken: <link media="all" href="https://3skoz1yr97849dum72v8p1rj-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_4f19bc3f160b142f9b7e7855805a2e48.css https://3skoz1yr97849dum72v8p1rj-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-..." rel="stylesheet" /> The `href` leads to a 404, hence the "refreshing" look...

Given the "Close Form" text and the bullet list of social media icons, it looks like the CSS is failing to load.
