Nothing like waking up in the NYC metro area to the smell of smoke from forest fires 150 miles to the south; rain today will definitely help

Whoops. Wrong one.

This is the one I wanted to include.

S.Ct. declines cert and won’t hear New Mexico’s anti-gay photographer case http://t.co/q0lSQWhEJ3

That means that the New Mexico Supreme Court ruling will stand. We’re talking about the top New Mexico court ruling on a New Mexico law, which means they’re the ones with the final say. The photographers tried appealing to the US Supreme Court on federal grounds, claiming that they have 1st Amendment rights to, well, discriminate.

The court declined to hear it. They couldn’t get 4 justices to agree to take up the case.

So, that means that the New Mexico law stands.
