IMPORTANT NOTE TO READERS: We try to keep TMV updated constantly, but once in a while due to schedules there could be a delay. Yours truly puts a lot of original and syndicated materials up on TMV. However, since last night I’m on a 21 hour drive from the Pacific Northwest to my California home. Today I will be offline the bulk of the day. This means if others don’t post on TMV, there will be less content than usual. This also means on some days you’ll see a sudden burst of concent. We will try to alleviate this starting tomorrow with some posts on a timer.
So if you see fewer new posts on TMV, it’s just temporary and keep checking back.
