Belka the 20-day-old Malamute-Husky proves you are never too young to howl. Almost too cute. Also, she is not in any way mute.

The Rainbow March
Following last week's rulings in favor of marriage equality in New Mexico, Ohio, and -- of all places! -- Utah, Josh Marshall of TPM has written a nice piece on why marriage equality in the United States as a whole is almost upon us. Late to be sure, but most welcome nonetheless it will be.
Then, the world.
Let us hope.

Marriage Equality in New Mexico
The Supreme Court of New Mexico has just ruled that the state cannot bar the right to marry on account of sexual orientation. This is a ringing endorsement of freedom and morality in my former state.
I am, of course, excited because this directly affects so many that I love who still live in New Mexico. However, I am also very happy that the latest state to affirm this Constitutional right is a western state not on the Pacific coast. As equality in marriage law takes hold in NM -- and as the sky doesn't fall as a result -- other western states will take notice. And they won't be able to say, "Well that is just liberal California."
The Land of Enchantment. Now more enchanting than ever!

Amazon.com - AmazonSmile
Amazon.com has a program called AmazonSmile where they donate .5% of your purchase total to the charity of your choice. That may not seem like a large percentage, but every bit helps. The way to take advantage of this program is to go through the AmazonSmile portal rather than through the basic Amazon.com portal. Then shop as you normally would. The first time that you enter the AmazonSmile portal, you will be asked to select a charity to link to your account. You can search by name.
We selected our local food bank. My sister is supporting her local animal shelter. It is great that Amazon is allowing you to support local charities in addition to the larger national and international charities.
Like many today, we shop a lot at Amazon. This just helps make Amazon a better deal still.
