Greetings from Purgatory Chasm

Someone I care about got some awful private news on Tuesday, so I was a little distracted by that. It was otherwise a nice day -- good weather, we went out to pick up bagels, I talked briefly to Daniel about World Cup chaos in Seattle, we took a walk and saw baby bunnies. Our next door neighbor was getting her windows washed by a local company, so I went out and talked to the guy doing the washing and it turned out he's worked in this neighborhood for many years and knew the original owner of our house, so we got him to do our windows too. 

My DS9 group watched "Heart of Stone" -- an episode I really did not like when it first aired, which in hindsight (and after seeing the rest of the series twice) is not only much more likeable but absolutely crucial to three storylines that run through the entirety of the show. Now we're watching some more of the final season of Grantchester, whose mysteries are feeling both a little stale and bitterly dark. Some of the formations at Purgatory Chasm, including the Devil's Pulpit and Coffin, His Majesty's Cave, Fat Man's Misery, and Lover's Leap:
