The Denver Bear​​ at the Convention Center just a little bit ago. Okay, an hour or so ago. There are a couple of people in this photo to give it some scale.

Taken with Android, edited (just a tweak to bring out the blue) with Snapseed​​.

My second favorite Ingress portal. Second only to Blucifer at DIA

It's my favorite, Rob Andersen, coz I think Blucifer is somewhat ghastly. I also like the dog statue at the dumb friends league, just across the river from the bear.

Well, okay, it's a bit of a walk.

John Bump Blucifer is loveable, just gravity wasn't in the artists favor at that moment. I always say if he was a white horse, people would say he was a Bronco and wouldn't think twice about him. He's just blue, cause he's sad =P

Those aren't the eyes of a sad horse.

They're so red from crying lol

They're red from the souls it consumes.

Seriously though, John Bump​, where's DDFL downtown? I know their facility in SE Denver. That's where I picked up Rufus 11 years ago this weekend.

Oh! It's ... huh. I was thinking of the Denver Animal Shelter. 12th and Bayaud, immediately south of where 6th and I25 cross. They have the most extraordinary statue outside, probably 20 feet tall, of a dog, entirely covered in dog tags so it looks like fish scales. Absolutely gorgeous.

I only went there once and it was a long long time ago. The whole place was depressing.

John Bump wow I had never seen that one, but I would agree, it's a worthy portal.

When the wind blows, the whole surface moves. It's gorgeous. I am relying on that dog and the bear to protect us when Blucifer finally busts loose and starts eating souls.

Blucifer just wants a hug

The way Aliens just want a hug. Only they are merely trying to lay eggs in your stomach so you are eaten from the inside, while Blucifer wants your soul as well.

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.

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
