Whew! What a relief- we in the Northeast USA are finally out of the heatwave. I never remember being in heat like that here- it was like living in a convection oven. 99 degrees at 11pm at night- ugh. I'm very glad to be back to 90 degrees and humid during the day, 70s and muggy overnight.
There's nothing like extreme heat to suck the energy out of a person-I'm sitting here looking at a house that needs lots of catching up on the chores! I suppose I'm not the only one behind on the blogging during the summer- I'll have to catch up on that too.
Next house, I want central air. ;)

Where Is Caylee's Justice?
In case you live under a rock and haven't heard, the Caylee Anthony murder trial verdict is in and it's Not Guilty.
My reaction is pretty much like everyone else's on this one- WTF???? Now I understand that the prosecution didn't give a definitive cause of death, still- WTF? The kid didn't tie herself up in duct tape. Nor did she put herself in a bag and dump herself in the woods. Somebody did all that TO her, and I'm betting it's the same somebody who went out partying for a month while the Caylee was "missing".
True, being a tramp and a mega-liar doesn't automatically make one a murderer. But not telling anyone that your kid (whom you claim to love) is missing for a month? And she didn't come out and say anything of her own accord, either- it was the child's grandmother who made the call to 911. Only then did Casey admit that she hadn't seen her child for 31 days. Now me, if a had a pet missing for even one day, there'd be flyers all over the neighborhood and all the shelters would've been called. And here's a mother that didn't report her child missing till she was forced to. If Cindy Anthony hadn't called 911 to report Caylee missing, it's entirely possible (given this young mother's astonishing ability to lie) that no one would yet know that the little girl was dead. Wow.
I'm sure we'll be hearing plenty about this verdict over the next few days. I'm willing to be a big girl about it and listen to the jurors reasoning about why they did what they did. But I'm not expecting to hear anything that's going to convince me they did the right thing. And little Caylee lost her only shot at justice.
