So weird.

#GooglePhotos made this #autoawesome for me from a photo I took about an hour ago. When I "Saved" it to my photos and then tried to share it, Google Photos couldn't download the image for sharing. I tried four or five times, each one resulting in a failure to download image message.

So, I used the three dot menu in the upper right hand corner of the Photos app and selected "Save to Device." Well, that worked perfectly fine. It downloaded and here we are.

Had you "Saved" it?

Meaning Google Photos makes stuff and shows it to you, but unless you save to your library you can't do anything with it.

Jason ON sorry missed that.
Odd quirk then. Possibly dogey network connection.

Robert Wallis I thought so too and ran a network check which came up fine. Besides, all other network required functions weren't taking a hit.

Photos has been buggy for me lately. This isn't the first time this has happened. I cleared the cache. Let's see if that helps.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

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...
