I did not notice he was in Palm Springs until the day he was leaving, so there was no way to make the trip from Phoenix and still see him. So, I sent him a note inquiring as to when he would be back and if he would return to PS or OC where he appeared to be based. I received what appeared to be an auto-reply with a ton of information except for when/if he would return to the west coast. The email stated that texting was the best way to get in touch for an immediate reply, otherwise he would reply as soon as he could. Given he was in Cincinnati at the time, there was no urgency so I didn't text. Why waste his time? So far he hasn't read or replied to the email, either.
So, were he to return to California or announce travel plans to Arizona I would text him, but would not be surprised if he didn't reply.
His loss in my opinion.
