I was back in school today and, as I mentioned last night, you got a Community notification for this because I'm in a community college and I'm taking Spanish. Luckily Chang is not my teacher and I haven't seen Chevy Chase anywhere. We do have neighbors. You might have heard of them.
We didn't exactly take the weekend off but national news is back with a bang - so much so that this will be my only mention of severe weather, boats on fire or even mass shootings (I thought about Walmart dropping some gun related sales but as someone pointed out in Headlines that's probably stuff that wasn't selling). I've only got one International story but it's a doozy.

A North Carolina court unanimously ruled against NC's gerrymandering. It is likely to pass muster at NC's Supreme Court and since it was decided on state grounds and not federal it is unlikely to jump to the Federal Court system or the US Supreme Court. This would mean fair districts and a likely Democratic state government in 2020. [CNN]
