I&#8217;ve told the full story a few times but had to stop, traumatized and furious even months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ugh and guh are anagrams, at least that makes me smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I hoped for interesting reflections on this long trip.
