Greetings from the Flamingos

Tuesday was just as rainy as Monday. I spent the morning doing chores with a break to run out and catch Squawkabillys, then we had lunch and in the afternoon I talked to Chris for an hour and a half. Then we went for a walk as the drizzle slowed before dinner. My DS9 group watched "Destiny" -- I love the Emissary episodes though I don't love Kira in this one, and I love that the smart Cardassian scientists are all women and really want peace. 

Apart from baseball, the rest of the evening has been watching some episodes of The Agency, which I wish had more Martian and Samia, though I enjoy Gremlin's story (I can't say I like her -- she's a sociopath, whereas Martian's weaknesses as an agent are also what make him sympathetic). I love when I go to a zoo and a wild animal has snuck into an exhibit, so here is the groundhog swiping food in the flamingo exhibit at Roger Williams Park Zoo:
