Court Gives no Reason for Granting CBS Final Summary Judgment in Order

In the Order issued last Friday, February 26, 2010 which granted CBS Motion for Final Summary Judgment, Judge Larry Weiman of the 80th District Court for Harris County did not state a reason, which is typical in District Courts in Texas.
It is interesting to note that the Order signed on Friday, February 26 is the PROPOSED ORDER that CBS filed on October 1, 2009 at the same time the Motion for Final Summary Judgment was presented to the Court. It appears this settles also the claim that Howard K. Stern and/or Art Harris “conspired” with CBS on any of the three interviews. The two quoted in Federal Court and this one in State Court.
Interlocutory Orders are rarely given by Civil District Courts in Texas, except perhaps in Family Court in regards to temporary Orders of child support, visitation etc. In Civil Courts in Texas an Interlocutory Summary Judgment would have allowed Virgie Arthur, in this case, if she uncovered evidence during the pending of the rest of this suit to file a Motion for the Court to Reconsider it’s decision on the CBS Summary Judgment and/or Order.
Interlocutory in Texas Statute is most often used for Appeals when a Motion for Summary Judgment is Denied; which then allows the proceedings to be stayed while the Interlocutory (fast tracked) Appeal is being heard by the Appellate Court on a much shorter time frame then normal Appeals for the whole Case. It is my understanding from someone observing the hearing last Friday, this is what Mr. Charles “Chip” Babcock argued to the Court. That it would in fact be his right for CBS Studios Inc. if the Court denied his Motion for Final Summary Judgment to immediately file an Interlocutory Appeal. If you want some case laws regarding this I will be glad to provide those I researched.
The setback in this “Final Summary Judgment” for Neil McCabe on behalf of his client is that Virgie Arthur cannot file an Interlocutory Appeal. CBS has been totally dismissed from this case unless it is called back in as a third person non-party witness. This Final Order on the Motion for Summary Judgment means CBS Studios Inc. is gone from this suit until such time that this case is totally over and some party files a “General Appeal” on the whole case. This is not good news for Arthur since CBS was the ones with “deep pockets” and the one that she could recover the most from in a jury trial.
In other news the 352nd District Court for Tarrant County has granting Wilma Vicedomine’s request for a hearing on her Special Exceptions and Motion to Dismiss under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 13.001 of Teresa Stephens suit in its entirety, that hearing is set for March 11, 2010 at 1:30 P. M. at the same time Judge Suddeth hears Neil McCabe’s and Don Clark’s Motion on Special Exceptions.

Well,my thoughts are,Anna before she passed,at least got to make the world understand some of what was hurting her,She kept to herself all those years, Vergie got the Harris Country Police to cover her,and call her harming her son with her gun a “accident”Anna trama in her childhood Anna did not mention,so Vergie was flying high,she tore her daughter apart every change she got.until Anna took it NO MORE,and gave back to her mother what was long overdue.I AM PLEASED WITH THE JUDGE DECISION and thank CBS HIP HIP HOORAY
Adding CBS to the state suit was messed up from the get-go, imo. Never should have happened, obviously. But McC did get to do a rewrite (#4) on the original petition. Adding the pending criminal charges in CA into the mix and connecting a few more of those dots. So I guess the #4 stays even though its purpose was to add CBS and that failed??
This case was never cost affective… how much money has been spent on it for what??? This has always amazed me…
Informative article, thanks.
I do disagree with this statement though…
“This is not good news for Arthur since CBS was the ones with “deep pockets” and the one that she could recover the most from in a jury trial:
IMO This will NEVER get to a jury, and I think her counsel KNEW this all along.
If they could squeeze it through (friendly Judges, ect) There is NO PROOF of conspiracy, there NEVER was.
That woman was never a threat for LB & HKS legally for ANYONE to CONSPIRE AGAINST!
This suit and the Federal suit she filed were ONLY to get HKS/LB to either fold or get something on them so they would CAVE IN.
Then this MADE-UP suit would have been dropped like a hot potato!
JMHO (and I’m sticking to it!!!)
I agree Beth should have never happened however if the money is gone, what will keep it going? Will TMZ settle or now take the front seat in fighting this?
Rose,
I will be sending you a email in a moment dear!
RE: TMZ, HL WILL NEVER SETTLE! IMO
He KNOWS why this State case and the TX Federal case was file, for ‘leverage’ to get their foot in the door for ‘position’ of having a say in the Marshall case or with sweet little DL. jmho, again.
hmm,
Great to see you posting!
Yes, [5] post very well stated!
Hope you’ve been well!
That is it for me today… back to Spring cleaning.
Have a great evening everyone.
I am going to try real hard,to penatrate the brain of (sizzles) talk about a thck skull.First –Anna’s med intake was all legal limits,adding the CH to the meds is what took Anna,Now unless you have a picture,or a video,of Howard giving Anna that med,and prove Anna did not take it on her own,you can hold you hand on your butt till hell freezes over.That is not what this Cal trial is about,it is about putting his name on med bottles,which has been going on in Hollywood all the time,with death resulting.so Jerry Brown has been in Office HOW LONG,and what did he do about this practice.MY OPINION Also there is a fine line,in trying to wean a pt off meds and handle her medical and physiological problems.DR E has to answer medical questions,NOT HOWARD.SO SHOULD MOE AND TAS
#7 Beth
That is so funny if only she knew…
Has anyone noticed,every time Vergie losses a round,they just insult and insult,on the other site,face it losers,(saint Vergie) is a BIG LOSER.Read my comment again,I knew your brains could not get it.I do not care if Anna had 10 bottles of CH in her system,prove Howard gave it to her.stop dancing around.you fools never can give a straight answer.Please come up with something better,than,she cannot open a can the right way.but then again It will cover your stupidity .VERGIR LOST ANOTHER ROUND.BETTER START A COLLECTION

“VERGIR LOST ANOTHER ROUND.BETTER START A COLLECTION”
You crack me up Beverly.
Roxanne—It is so nice to hear how you are doing,and it is true”Time heals all wounds”.There still there,but hurt less and less,until you can go on with life,and it sounds like you are doing so.I have always found confort in the ocean,that is why I am here.I hope when all cases pretaining to Howard are over,he can go to the Bahamas,look out at the ocean and remember,Anna felt at peace there.I have looked and looked,and asked time and time again,’What did Anna’s family do to help Anna,name one thing.I cannot get a answer,just excuses.I am glad Dr Drew has ‘celebrity rehab’ because it shows how important what happens in childhood matters a lot.Vergie it appears has always been protective of HERSELF,talk about throwing someone under a bus.Vergie did that over and over to Anna,now that her child is DEAD,she is fighting hard for any money .How different things would be,if she was just (grandma)and not worried about Dannielynn Estate.my opinion
#5 hmm, you said: “IMO DC is a disgrace to his used to be profession.”
I totally agree with you, he is a disgrace! He has used and abused his former position to impress and open doors he would otherwise not have been able to enter. Shame on the people who look at him and are “impressed” before they see what he is really all about. I do believe there will be people with egg on their faces (or worse) because of him before this is all over. I don’t care who you are or what you did in a FORMER job, it does not intitle you to break laws or knowingly support illegal actions.
Time will tell. [Of course, this is just my own opinion based on what I have researched to date.]
We woke up to unexpected snow this morning and it is really coming down! So beautiful, but it is a heavy, wet snow that will melt on the roads then turn to ice tonight. I am so ready for spring!
If this is inappropriate, please feel free to can it.
We have heard and/or read how reality shows are not real but staged productions in order to maintain its audience. Even some posters have indicated the truth can be found in Anna’s video clips. There are occasions whereby I check in on The Bachelor or Bachelorette on a couple of websites, one of which is Reality Steve. Reality Steve is in the know he has his connections. Matter of fact this season’s outcome, in correct sequence, was online two weeks prior to the first airing.
During this season’s The Bachelor, one bachelorette was removed from the show the second or third week because of inappropriate actions. Rozlyn Papa has been through the wringer with all the accusations but yet with all the cameras rolling no video proof has been shown. Rozlyn has maintained her innocence throughout. The first link is for Steve’s website. The second link is the telephone interview Steve had with Rozlyn. Rozlyn confirms how staged the programming is and how detailed and restricting the contract is. Interesting listening but you need 2 hours. Steve does not hold back on the questions. Note. I downloaded the interview to Real Player for later playback or can be saved to Itunes.

talking about tv shows, anyone watch Extreme Maker, the one where they build homes for people? Well, an episode that will be airing later this season is being filmed right here in east texas, just down the road (so to speak) from us. We’ve been watching the home being built on our local news every night. Wow. It is a nice looking house.
I have finished reading the Final Summary Judgement listed above. A couple of questions:
1. Does this case meet the standard of “vexatious litigation”?. If so, can any relief be sought by the defendants based on the fact that the law firm should have reasonabily known that fact? I would imagine the legal fees accrued by all parties from the first case and the four amended cases were pretty hefty. Can they sue to recover legal and court fees?
2. The Final Summary Judgement stated that “It is simply illogical” that reasonable viewers would jump to the conclusion that Arthur permitted the rape of her daughter(based on an interview with and about the half brother). They also used the words “Prompt dismissal of meritless claims is particulary important…..”. Since the court used the words “simply illogical” and “meritless claims” can the defendants sue Arthur and the RENOWN law firm for defamation and emotional injury?
It just seems to me that there should be some recourse for what was done by a law firm that IMHO should have known that this was “vexatious litigation”!
I am just shaking my head at how Vergie turns everything around to be about HER. What an ego! Even after her own daughter publically said “leave me and my daughter alone!” Vergie still thinks she is entitled to everything that her daughter had, including her body. Any woman can be a “birth mother” but it takes love, nurturing and support to be a REAL mother. OK, I am now
turning this off.
KEN—I have watched Extreme makeover ” a number of times,One time for a former Marine,What I would love to know,how they pay there new house taxes and property tax.They rebuilt the house from bottom up.When they are all done,it is nothing like it was before.THE house value,must go up plenty.
Noni,
>”Since the court used the words “simply illogical” and “meritless claims” …”
* Those ‘words’ or that ‘wording’ was FROM CBS. The Defendant, ‘CBS’ typed the Summary Judgement, it is like an argument to the Court on why they should be dismissed. The Court then will either GRANT or DENY the Motion for Summary Judgement. Thank heavens in this case this new Judge GRANTED it!
It is hard to sue a county, or the county Court system. It is easier to sue the Judge, if it is found in the higher Courts her Orders were NOT according to law.
The Law can bend very far, that type of suit is hard also, BUT some Defendants could recoup some $ for unjust fees DUE to UNJUST ORDERS… or UNJUST INCARCERATIONS.
>” there should be some recourse for what was done by a law firm that IMHO should have known that this was “vexatious litigation”!”
*This is why some of the Defendants have went to the 1st COA (Court of Appeals) then AH has his waiting in the Texas Supreme Court after the COA has ruled… They have to go through this process first to PROVE the VEXATIOUS of the suit.
It will NOT be long before the Marshall case will have a FINAL outcome > one way or another…
The COA in TX will make some decisions on AH, HKS, & TS, then the Supreme Court will decide AH after that.
The ‘blogger case’ cannot go much longer, the Higher Courts can essentially shut it down. I read somewhere that McC recently sent some type of Motion or correspondence to the Bankruptcy Court on B.S…. that because of STAYS it will be another 12 months… There is NO WAY the Courts will allow this N*T to force these Defendants to pay for attorneys on a case built on NO MERIT! It is baseless on its face! I hope the new Judge will do his OWN REVIEW on what McC got ‘pushed’ through Lindsay’s Court and see this also!
*** I would THINK every Defendant; especially the pro se >>> Would email the new Judge and ask him to REVIEW ALL PRIOR ORDERS FROM LINDSAY along with the ones the COA is deliberating on… It is HIS CASE now! He could even force the Plaintiff to show actual proof of her FALSE ALLEGATIONS!
Just because McC has the ‘capacity’ to file ‘endless motions’ the Higher Courts will PUT A STOP to the harassing of that firm to the Defendants if the Plaintiff is not able to come up with ‘plausible evidence’ that indeed there was a ‘plan’ to defame. They will NOT be able to because it NEVER happened. NO Court is going to continue a case on the WORD of McC’s ‘friendly two bloggers who gave their sworn statements of LIES >> IMHO
Beverly [18] That was a question that came up and the reporter talked about it. The producer (or someone from the show) said they’ve had 1 or 2 that have given up the house due to not being able afford it, but most don’t lose the houses. This one, they said, should actually have lower utility costs due to being an ‘all green’ energy efficient house. Also, although the property value is definately gonna go up, the tax office said since it was built after Jan 1, they will only have to pay taxes on the old house. Plus, the president of one of the local chain of banks here is setting up a fund to help them. So, it looks like they will have lots of help. This is a family of five (maybe six). All the children are adopted, from Kazikstan. One of the little girls (there’s 3 girls and 1 boy) had been born with only one arm. It was cute on one of the news shots seeing her running around on her artificial legs like nothing at all. The boy, who’s the oldest (9 yo) has his own disorder (they all have problems). His is Sensory Integration Disorder (I believe). He’s also a big Star Wars fan. (the news reporter said he’d probably get a SW’s or space themed bedroom, knowing this show)The family home schools. The father himself has medical problems. Liver, kidney transplant, heart attacks (I think), junenile diabetes and some other things. I think he’s in his mid to late 30′s.
KEN—-It is nice to know,there still people caring for people.I enjoy watching the old to new,and making the children happy with there new bedrooms,the one I watched one where the boy loved cars,so his bedroom and a entire car in differents parts of his room,boy was that boy happy.
Ken – Home Edition built a house south of town from me earlier this season. I generally watch but miss a few of the shows over the years.
I had though I read where the Marine lost his home because the taxes were to high and he could not pay them?????
Bev I am finding out just what family turning on ya means.You never think it will happen than it does because some only think about what is best for themselves
Ken – after someone lost their home for the reasons you stated above, they have started giving the homeowner’s between $25,000 and $50,00 (it might actually be more) for the payment of the increased taxes, utilities, etc. This money is usually donated by one of their sponser’s (i.e. SEARS). I may be wrong but I think it was a Marine that lost his home for those very reason’s. It happened after about the third or fourth home was rebuilt.
It is an incrediblely heartwarming show. They also usually help the communities in some way. So many deserving families, few to many efforts like this. It does show what a community CAN do if they put their minds and elbow grease into a project like this. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if each community decided to do this for one of their own each year? I bet it could be done with the right organization, etc. Ahh, I can dream can’t I?
Beth #19, thank you so much for taking the time to explain all that to me. I wish I had the time (and smarts) to keep up with all that is going on and what everything means. I just believe a great injustice has been done to so many people by a person(s) with the wrong kind of power and the money to do it.
I thought this response was one of the rare times where the court explained it’s reasoning.
The thing that bother’s me greatly is that the general “public” (who digs not much deeper than the headlines) have been falsely swayed by the multitude of lawsuits filed against these defendents. Sort of like: “well, if that big famous law firm is filing all of those lawsuits they must be guility”. Before anyone jumps on me with with a “people are smarter than that!” consider this:
I worked for a defense contractor. One of the things we did for our military was write User’s Manual’s for highly important defense systems. Our government instructed us to write them on an “8th grade level” because that is the level of understanding of the average person in the military.
Mind blowing isn’t it? (or maybe not, just consider what is written on “that other site”
).
You know,the other site again cannot and will never understand,what Anna’s longing to be loved is all about.MY OPINION—I believe Anna loved Marshall as a father not husband.Never being shown love and having a Father and mother to love her, Anna had no example.and like any child Anna expected to be supported and have security Mommie Vergie took the OQ Firm for plenty.Free trips to the Bahamas. plane rides,hotel meals makeover partytime Anna had Marshall, mommie had OQ,AND THOUGHT SHE WOULD ALSO LIVE IT UP ON DANNIELYNN ESTATE OR MARSHALL MONEY.Vergie still did not get enough money to suit her,so lets try suing TMZ,CBS Howard,Bonnie Bloggers.If I was a vergie supporter I would shut my trap,Mommie Vergie,is a even more money seeking slimebag,and at least Anna loved Marshall as a father,whats Vergie excuse
A few questions…
The status conference on March 12 in HC, who made that Motion?
The Court? The Plaintiff? Or due to the date suit was filed and it is time from the start date…?
Is the site that had all of the ‘knight in shining armor crap’ getting these filings directly from the plaintiff’s attorney
before the filings are going to the Clerk’s Office in HC to be recorded? If so, is that legal?
Does the statement of confidentiality on an document go ‘out the window’ when said docs are filed in a public Court doc?
Does the person who files these confidential documents within Motions have to ask the author’s permission?
If the confidential papers were given freely, does that mean it was given freely to post in a Motion?
Thanks.
Did anyone hear today that JB made it official that he is running for Cal. Gov.? OMG I was driving alot today and listening to John and Ken on KFI and they did a complete rundown of this guys whole career and needless to say they can’t stand him. I heard so many things about him today that I was not aware, I need to research more but this guy. He was friends stated close friends with Jim Jones the cult guy while the cult was in Northern California right before their move to Guyana and the mass suicide. There was so many things about Jerry Brown that they talked about today and so many references that they referred too and direct public information about Jerry Brown.
http://www.kfi640.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=153218&article=6832379
There are so many things about Jerry Brown that do not wash. He took California tax payers money back in the 70′S when he was Gov. and had no limit on property taxes, Property taxes went outrageous and the tax payers went nuts and passed prop 13, Jerry Brown was so opposed to prop 13 and when it passed he said that he was all for the people. He stopped all freeway building in California and California freeways because of him are nothing but gridlock. He quit his political career for a while before running for Mayor of Oakland and went to Japan to study Buddhism and came back and was elected Mayor of Oakland and the murder rate from the time he came into office in Oakland was double when he left, He did not change a thing there, It was worse. Everything this guy has done has been the wrong way.
Why did he not hold a press conference? Why did he do on the internet?
California,,, We are so screwed…………………..

Anywho, I am happy and I hope everyone is well..
Rose asked me to post this, as she’s very upset at this moment.
Rose just became aware late tonight that there was a filing on feb 25 in the HC court. Rose never received a copy of this filing. We have always promised to be a transparent site and we will continue to do that. Once as a defendent rose recieves this filing it will go up on the site and if need be rose will write an article.
I am sorry Ken and Rose. We know that this site is completely transparent, alot has been happening and I am sure that it is completely understandable. I am thinking of you and Rose.
One other thing I want to say about Jerry Brownout/Browneye
tonight (sorry).. Read his stats.. This is mind blowing.. From what I have read it does not state how he is and has used his office for his political gain or maybe it does 
, But I have seen it. If California votes him into office as Gov it will prove that most of Cal is either illiterate or illegal, (hmmmmmm) (take your pick) imo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( Could be both ).. What agenda having JB as Gov or what purpose would that serve or whom would benefit most???. Clearly not the tax paying public we have already been down that road. JB was Gov for only two years and ran for President.. WTF.. All anyone has to do is think of is his past tract record that lived it and rub two brain cells together, if not, Why??… He is like a Bad Hollywood sitcom and because the writers can’t come up with anything better they make a feature film and that will a be a dud too. America will come out of the recession but California will be in a recession for generations to come if he is elected Gov. IMO… Read his stats..
http://www.scribd.com/doc/27745353/A-Voter-s-Guide-to-Jerry-Brown
Well.I said this once,I will say it again.Jerry Brown looks and talks like he belongs in a nursing home,JB had his opportunity at governing the state of Cal.for which he did a poor job,just look what he did as AG,the question would be ,what did he do as AG?Myhope is that the people of Cal,get a NEW FACE,young with NEW IDEAS,not some OLD WORN OUT HAS BEEN,who looks and talks like he should have been put out to pasture a long time ago.and has proven he is a political corrupt AG.PLEASE people of Cal,now is your change.THINK YOUNG AND NEW.
REPOST
” –CBS is done. An Order for protection and an order for Final Summary Judgement means over and out, said, done, and finished, see you later baby.
The 1st COA and the TX Supreme Court are not going to provide any back door opportunities for the TX cabal to further harass CBS via AH either.
Any one of the four points of law argued by CBS would have sufficed to grant FSJ. Final SJ means F I N A L. All issues are gone, gone and gone.
It is a catastrophic and well-deserved loss for VA/McCabe in their disgraceful, phony and vexatious lawsuit.
The 3-12-10 Status Conference for the ‘bloggers’ case should be a crying game for McCabe too. Almost two years and nothing whatsoever has progressed except unlawful orders and abuse of process that have shamed Houston, Harris County, Texas
and the TX legal profession. Posted at 11:25PM on Mar 2nd 2010 by Only swim in the Ocean”
#35 Repost, I agree with Swim’s assessment as I said in this article this was a major “deep pocket of money loss” for VA as she can not file an appeal on the Court’s decision UNTIL the total suit is over and then only if another party filed a “General Appeal” I just don’t see that happening so the only “entity” I know of that could have any money for her to get would be TMZ which I am not sure about that since TMZ republished the family tree and then only added a poll to it, it was not flattering to VA, but I don’t think it reaches in Texas the equivalent of defamation.
ROSE–Did Vergie not say to SPLASH.let the family feud comtinue,she wanted more air time,so to my way of thinking she invited polls or whatever,What did she expect would happen,She got what she asked for in spades.To late to cry about it.She invited conflict.How do you defame a woman,who’s daughter and grandson dies,and she out doing the party scene with Cosby and OQ.TMZ DOES POLLS ALL THE TIME.What makes Vergie think she is untouchable.Vergie is angry,she is not thought of as POOR Vergie,She does not like what people think of her,also to bad
Yes we have a filing between David Leigh of Splash and ET that says that Beverly
OK folks I have the new filings up from Lin Wood on behalf of Howard K. Stern sent to the 80th District Court today in Answer to VA’s Motion to compel
I now also have the papers from February 25, 2010 that I had not received a copy of before this morning.
As Roxie told me NEVER come back to read your email after you go to bed, just for the reason last night when I saw this filing all over Topix and wondered
That added to that a site owner had a courtesy copy and had it up when if that site has bought the papers it would have had the date and time stamped on it by the Clerk of Court and that the papers had been certified. 
To say I was up for a few hours after that trying to figure out what happened and so today I am exhausted, I am going to take a nap and then I will add my thoughts to the newest and the older papers I got today and are now up for you to download.
#27 Beth here are you answers to questions you posed:
The status conference on March 12 in HC, who made that Motion?
The Court? The Plaintiff? Or due to the date suit was filed and it is time from the start date…?
THE COURT DID ALL OF THOSE THINGS BETH IT IS A STATUS CONFERENCE SO THE COURT AND THE PARTIES KNOW THE STATUS AND THE COURT CAN THEN ISSUE ANY HEARING DATES, AND OTHER DATES IT FEELS APPROVIATE.
Is the site that had all of the ‘knight in shining armor crap’ getting these filings directly from the plaintiff’s attorney
before the filings are going to the Clerk’s Office in HC to be recorded? If so, is that legal?
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS GIVING THAT SITE THE PAPERS IT COULD BE THE PLAINTIFF OR ANY OF THE DEFENDANTS, I ONLY KNOW THEY DID NOT COME FROM THE HARRIS COUNTY COURT SITE, AND NO IT IS NOT ILLEGAL IF THEY HAVE BECOME PART OF THE PUBLIC RECORD
Does the statement of confidentiality on an document go ‘out the window’ when said docs are filed in a public Court doc?
WHEN A MOTION TO COMPEL, A RESPONSE ETC. IS FILED THEN YOU MIGHT SEE SOME OF THE DOCUMENTS BUT CERTAINLY NOT ALL OF THEM
Does the person who files these confidential documents within Motions have to ask the author’s permission?
IF THEY ARE MARKED CONFIDENTIAL THEN YES EXCEPT WHEN THE COURT LOOKS AT THEM IN CAMERA AND THEN DESIGNATE THEM AS PART OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS
If the confidential papers were given freely, does that mean it was given freely to post in a Motion?
SEE ABOVE ANSWER
If everything is not filed which most it will NEVER be filed as public record it is easy to get the wrong impression because you are probably looking a very small part amount of all of the papers produced in discovery and often it is skewed for the client of the attorney that presents them.
Oh and caps are not because I am mad but only to differentiate between the questions and then my answer Beth…
Liann I have been telling everyone on any news site I read that California needs someone new and young Not Brown or Whitman.They are two of the three stooges,IMO and would put California in worse shape than it is now.Arnold forgoes his salary,does anyone think Brown would even if he could” or Whitman No way in he–Someone in California has to be better than those two.Anyone(almost)!!!!!!
I watched JB’s very short interview last night on Larry King. What I’m still laughing about is his comment, (which he will probably use in his campaign)is
“an insiders knowledge and an outsider’s mind”. I keep wondering….how far out?
new article with new docs up
