Euphorbia cordifolia

Hey Rayetta.

Hey yall. Why does Ray look so miserable?

He's sulking, Rayetta?

Sulking! Why are you sulking Ray?

Ray?

I, Ray am aggravated with ye Rayetta fer not askin' me if I wanted to sleep with the cows.

You are! Well I applogize then Ray, fer not askin ye. But ye know Ray, sometimes a person just needs to work alone.

Want to spell us yer vision, Rayetta?

Nope.

Aw come on Rayetta. Please spell us.

Nope.

All righty then.

Want to join in on what we been studyin'?

Sure.

Take it away, Crumby.

All righty then. This lesson is about overloadin' yerself and this is what happened. A Connaughtman said to Cuhulian:

I do not know why anyone should be afraid of you. I see no horror or terror or overpowering of odds in you. You are a pretty boy only, with weapons of wood and with impressive tricks.

This kind of remark is what in Arkansas is referenced as "overloadin' yerself with yer mouth". A short time after he made this remark that particular Connaughtman was sliced in half from the crown of his noggin to his lala and was bein' drug by his heels behind a chariot. When the chariot was on smooth ground, his two halves came together, but if it was bumpy ground, the two halves flopped apart.

Yikes. What in the Name of the Goddess provoked this lesson?

Randomness of observation, Rayetta. Randomness. But also to re-emphasize the importance of stealth.

Crumby. I know it is not one of yer gifts, focus, but ye really should try to focus on fewer subtopics, simultaneously. What else is goin' on, tonight.

Well, Ray, the Normally Placid Druid, is fixin' to upload yet another spurge. Then, if Hope can arrange it, we're all gonna go look at the Pleiades, maybe. Funny Rayetta, you sleepin' with the cows and the very next night we all decide to observe, Taurus. Want to spell us on last night?

Noper. Let's load that spruge.

All righty then.

This particular spurge was encountered in April 1998 on South Padre Island, Cameron County. There's the seed on the bottom, a busted part of a capsule to its right, and then some flowers and such above that. Note the interesting stipules next to the leaves.
