This doesn't quite count, but: I was flying a cross-country from Lander, Wyoming, to somewhere in South Dakota, and flew under a cloud, with more clearance than the FAA requires, but holy cow those big thunder clouds have a ton of vertical movement well away from the clouds. My flight bag was slamming against the top of the plane and then back into the seat or the floor or me, because the plane had so much vertical acceleration. I was really glad I'd zipped it before getting anywhere near that cloud, and from then on I belted it in as well. (But I kept the wings mostly level and managed to keep the plane heading mostly the direction I intended most of the time, so it was okay.)

So, you were the pilot?

Jason ON : yeah, it was my solo cross-country for getting my pilot's license. I learned a bunch about how far away to stay from clouds. (I would have flown off to one side but that was through a military operations area; in retrospect, that would have been the better idea.)

That's cool. Real world experience is always a better substitute than book lernin.

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
