For those of you who went out an enjoyed the weekend, a few tidbits for you:

• Guilford County’s 10-member delegation to the General Assembly looks like they’ll all run for their jobs again. Answers ranged from folks who were already raising money (Reps. Adams and Harrison) to one member (Laura Wiley) who said it’s too early to say but she’s looking at it. That story is here.
   
• Remember that $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers? It expires later this year and those who want to take advantage need to get hopping. Click here for that story from Richard Barron.
   
• From the lede of a NY Times news service story: “The story of the spectacular rise and fall of John Edwards, with its sordid can’t-look-away dimensions, is moving slowly but deliberately to its conclusion here in North Carolina.” Associates say the former senator and two-timing, er, two-time presidential candidate may own up to being a baby-daddy. That story is here.
   
• Hey, welcome back. You’re fired. The N+O’s Ben Niolet recounts the hairball over a hair braiding bill and the State Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners. Click here for that.
   
• Rep. Ty Harrell is now FORMER Rep. Ty Harrell after resigning Sunday. (More here.) He’s the fifth legislator to resign from the House this year. Two (Dan Blue and Linda Coleman) took other jobs, one (Bonner Stiller) left to spend more time with his family and maybe fishing and Rep. Cary Allred famously had Chelada-related issues.
