Bixler’s quote from the Cut article :

“When I asked about Altum’s claims, Bixler said she hadn’t known Altum well — she’d taught her in PE — but she didn’t doubt her story. “Honestly, I think there could have been two perpetrators,” she said. “I think Amy had one, and I think Joleene had one.” Bixler believed she knew who Altum’s alleged abuser may have been. He and Mr. Mason, she said, were good friends. She told me she had seen him be inappropriate with students — being touchy, making lewd comments — and that at one point she removed students from his supervision.”

The City Secretary of Amarillo has specifically chose to withhold specific responsive records (AG report to Amarillo PD and subsequent actions taken) and sent a letter to Texas Attorney General Paxton?!?!?!?!

You can see the word attorneys is redacted in the second screenshot, but not in the first - and that has my wheels spinning. Why redact the word attorneys?

There is an unverified book proposal going around with the name of an editor NOT from Penguin on it, and that may or not be authentic. But a quote near the end of it caught my eye

I board a plane, rent a car and pull up at a strange house. The reader will believe that I'm going to finally go confront Mr. Miller, and tell him that I know what he did to me. But instead, the person who opens the door... is Claudia. "Can I come in?" I say. "I have a story I want to tell you."We'll understand that this whole journey has brought me here: Not to the place where I get clarity, justice or answers in the way I'd first hoped, but to somewhere else entirely. A place

where I can tell my story to someone who might really need to hear it. That's what I'm doing with Claudia-and it's what I'm doing with this book.

Now to be fair, Amy might be talking about how she intends to end the book, and that’s why this door situation is different than the coffee shop meeting in the finished version of The Tell. But something in Amy’s recent declaration also caught my eye — In the third picture above.

If the final bids for the proposal for the book were due March 28, and this is the proposal I’m looking at… why did Amy only text Claudia on April 1, three days after bids were due? (From the timestamps on the texts)

She basically staked the whole ending on the participation of a woman that she hadn’t interacted with yet. What if Claudia didn’t want to be involved?

Which makes me wonder if what Claudia means by “attorneys reached to me a bit ago” means something more recent, like attorneys reaching out to verify she would be willing to meet and be included?

And then the second part makes more sense - Claudia offered other potential witnesses, friends from middle school, and the attorneys didn’t need that - because by then, they were no longer investigating the assault. They were securing her involvement for the ending. But does she know that?

Does Claudia know that her involvement in the memoir’s ending might have been a foregone conclusion?

These traps are labeled pet & kid safe. No pets & kids can easily access the bait but the rodents can exit the traps with chunks/almost a full block of bait.

Activated Charcoal paste from pet & feed stores is recommended but in a pinch/emergency you can use hydrogen peroxide ( image had dosing instructions)

I have a ranch so I keep activated charcoal paste on hand but I realize most folks don’t so thought i would share.
