Drug cartels are making the roads precarious. I suggest you really, really plan it.

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.

Pretty safe crossing below Yuma. Just have to avoid Jurez and San Diego...too much bad stuff going down there.

I entered in Juarez and exited at Nogales, MX.

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

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

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
