Still working on my current crocheted afghan project. This one is taking a lot longer than usual because 1) I only get time to work on it 1 day a week. 2) It uses a smaller yarn & hook than I normally use. 3) The 1 day a week I DO get to work on it, I don't get to work on it that long. So much yarn, so little time. Had 2 FD calls yesterday AT THE SAME TIME & both of them were grass fires. 1 in our district & the other in the district next door to us. I went on the one in our district & was on the back of the truck spraying the water this time. After 500 gallons of water & a little foam added at the end, we had successfully put it out & saved the tree-line! Are we good or are we good? We're good! :) LCFD business meeting tonight.
On this day in 2011, Casey Anthony is released from jail in Orlando, Florida,
12 days after being acquitted on charges that she killed her 2-year-old
daughter Caylee. The Casey Anthony trial riveted Americans, many of
whom were stunned when a jury found the 25-year-old not guilty in her
young daughter’s death.
Caylee Marie Anthony was last seen alive with her mother on June 16, 2008, leaving the Orlando home they shared with Casey Anthony’s parents, George and Cindy Anthony. Casey Anthony waited 31 days to report her daughter missing, and when questioned by police in mid-July, she told them a nanny had kidnapped her daughter, along with a series of other statements which later proved to be untrue. On October 14, 2008, Anthony was indicted on charges of first-degree murder and lying to police. On December 11 of that year, Caylee Anthony’s skeletal remains were found in a wooded area less than a mile from George and Cindy Anthony’s house.

On December 11 of that year, Caylee Anthony’s skeletal remains were found in a wooded area less than a mile from George and Cindy Anthony’s house.
When the case went to trial in May 2011, the prosecution charged that
Casey Anthony killed Caylee by giving her chloroform, covering her
mouth with duct tape and later disposing of her body in the woods.
Prosecutors argued that Anthony was motivated to commit murder so she
could live a carefree, party-girl lifestyle, and they showed the jury
photographs of her carousing with friends during the time her child was
missing. The defense argued Caylee Anthony had accidentally drowned in
her grandparent’s swimming pool, and her death had then been made to
look like a homicide by a panicked Casey and her father George.
Acknowledging that Casey Anthony had provided false information to the
police, her lead attorney, Jose Baez, claimed she had been sexually
abused by her father and trained to lie all her life. George Anthony
took the witness stand and denied the allegations against him; Casey
Anthony never testified during her trial.
Because Caylee Anthony’s body was badly decomposed by the time it was
discovered, experts were unable to determine the exact cause and time
of her death. Additionally, there were no witnesses or direct physical
evidence to link Casey Anthony to the crime. On July 5, 2011, after
deliberating for less than 11 hours, a jury found Anthony not guilty on
charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated
manslaughter of a child. They did convict her on four lesser counts of
providing false information to law enforcement officials. The case had
been heavily discussed on cable television and Twitter, with Casey
Anthony generally being portrayed unfavorably by commentators, and many
Americans reacted with shock and outrage to the verdict.
On July 7, Belvin Perry Jr., chief of the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court in Orlando, gave Anthony the maximum sentence—a four-year jail term—for lying to police and sending them on a “wild goose chase.” However, with credit for time served and good behavior, Anthony, behind bars since 2008, was released on July 17 as a crowd of protestors waited outside.
In the aftermath of the case, lawmakers in several states began drafting laws in memory of Caylee Anthony which would make it a felony for a parent or legal guardian not to promptly report a missing child.

Orphic:
1: Capitalized : of or relating to Orpheus. 2: Mystic, oracular. 3: Fascinating, entrancing.
"'No summer ever came back, & no 2 summers ever were alike,' said I, with a degree of Orphic wisdom that astonished myself."
Orpheus was a hero of Greek mythology who was said to possess superhuman musical skills. With his legendary lyre, he could make even the rocks & trees dance. In fact, when his wife, Eurydice, died, he was able to use his lyre to persuade the god of the underworld to release her. Later on, according to legend, he was killed at the bidding of Dionysus, & an oracle of Orpheus was established that came to rival the oracle of Apollo at Delphi. Because of the oracle of Orpheus, "orphic" can mean "oracular," & because of Orpheus' musical powers, "orphic" can also mean "entrancing."
