Jaime Gorman, we were talking and I mentioned his English was fantastic which led to him telling me about living in Salt Lake. I asked him why he was back in podunk Mexico (Buenaventura, specifically) and he said they deported him after his prison sentence. Naturally I asked why was in prison and got the story.
Apparently, according to him, he and his wife were walking somewhere in SLC when they were jumped. IN defending himself and his wife he killed one of his attackers. He went to prison and he was deported after his time was served.
I was stopped by the Mexican military twice and a federali once. otherwise most people were friendly and helpful when we could communicate. I don't speak an ounce of Spanish.
And my back getting messed up and getting stuck in the Mexican desert after sundown (a big no-no) and coming around a corner at 60mph only to see the pavement disappear and it become a dirt road. My battery also died at one point and I had to get a jump to get it going and buy a new batter in Hermosillo.
I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

And yes, Paul Rosen, if everything goes right it's not an adventure. :D
