BUT UNTIL THEN, PAIR OF THREES DAILY WALKS DOWN MEMORY LANE. HANG IN. THE BALANCE MAY BE AROUND THE WORLD. NOW, IF THIS DOESN'T GET RESOLVED IN THE NEXT MONTHS TO THE DISPUTE BETWEEN PARIS, 3 AND MYERS COULD GO TO A JURY TRIAL THAT WOULD START IN NOVEMBER. AND I'M TOLD THAT THE H.O.A. IS LOOKING TO PURSUE ITS OWN LEGAL ACTION AGAINST</p>
