If you didn't notice, I was away yesterday. Drove up to Wyoming to see the eclipse.

So much more amazing in person. (Yes, I took this photo)

You got a way better shot than any of mine. Where did you go? I was in Alliance, Nebraska.

About halfway between Lingle and Jay Em, WY.

Jason ON how was the traffic going back? I would say I-76 was heavier than normal, but not even close to normal I-25 traffic.

How on earth did you get that shot out of a cellphone, Rob? That's excellent!

You are clearly both more talented and more lucky than I am.

I drove my kids two days South to see the eclipse. It was totally worth it!

You cellphone shot is much better than my cellphone shot, Rob Andersen.

As for traffic returning to Denver - it sucked. In every major conceivable way you can imagine. We sat in traffic for three hours just to get through Torrington, WY (not that large of a town) and then another five to drive the 90 miles or so south to I-80. The worst part is, WY State Troopers had HWY85 shut down and were redirecting traffic to my "back way." In order to avoid heavy traffic on I-80 and then I-25 I decided to continue the "back way" south to the Pawnee Grasslands then on to Kersey, then to I-76.

All-in-all it took me about 11 hours to make the 240 mile drive.

Jason ON that's why I changed to Nebraska. Multiple ways home.

FWIW I came back through Pawnee NGL as well. At least that part was pretty. I'm sorry it was such a horrible drive home.

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
