Greetings from Carderock

We had gorgeous weather continuing on Saturday, which I got to enjoy outdoors a lot. It was a Pokemon Community Day, so I spent a while catching and evolving Galarian Zigzagoon, first near home, then at Cabin John Park, and then at Carderock, where we went hoping to see frogs and ended up only hearing them, but we saw a wide variety of herons and ducks, plus some turtles and lots of dragonflies.

We just watched The Orville's "Gently Falling Rain" (which was pretty good) and "A Tale of Two Topas" (which is one of the best Star Trek episodes I've ever seen, with the slight complication that it's not actually Star Trek, but it's a better follow-up to the unsatisfying "The Outcast" than Star Trek has ever dared to do). Both these episodes feel like they're in dialogue with specific Star Trek storylines, which I love.
