I am jealous of the confidence of the parents who named their daughter Cassiopeia (a very mild mannered young woman in line behind me at the doctor's office). I suppose that is one way to avoid fatal arrogance and vanity 🌠

Goodyera pubescens (downy rattlesnake plantain) is a native North American orchid known for its evergreen, basal rosette of dark green leaves with distinctive white veins that resemble rattlesnake skin 🐍

Goodyera pubescens, the downy rattlesnake plantain (also known as Peramium pubescens), is one of the most common orchids native to eastern North America. Goodyera pubescens flowers in mid July-early September with a small spike inflorescence of between 10 and 57 cylindric flowers. The leaves have the white-green marbling in the form of veins throughout, broadly elliptic to broadly ovate (2.1-6.2 x 1.3–3 cm), with either an acute or obtuse apex. The peduncle (stem that connects the stalk to a floret) is 11–35 cm long. Flowers: Lateral sepals 3.1 - 5.3 mm long with distinct petals of 3.6 - 5.7mm. The petals lip is scrotiform (pouch shaped) 2.5 - 4.2 x 2.2 - 3.5mm in size with the apex reflexed (bent outwards) with a slightly tuberculate (bumpy/rough) outer surface. The inner surface is smoother but has thicker veins throughout. The anthers are inflexed (bent inwards) within a cup-shaped clinandrium (an orchid structure beneath the anther). The white flowers are usually atop a leafless stalk.

6-3 majority (though, Kavanaugh did not rely on the plain text of the Constitution in his decision 🥸)

BY a 5-4 margin, the U.S. Supreme Court has determined the U.S. Constitution has plain words that actually mean what they say. In a dissenting opinion, Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch & Kavanaugh argue they are dread pirates and therefore the U.S. Constitution is more a guideline than a hard rule.

A big ol' raccoon came out to visit me on the trail today. S/he gazed at me a moment from a few feet away, I said hello, and then the raccoon slowly waddled to some bushes to await my departure. I felt honored that they were not especially afraid of me. 🖤🩶🤍🦝🤍🩶🖤
