"Parse this pic, Mr Artificial Intelligence!" challenges Roadkill, in an Adversarial AI attempt to extend the Turing Test into new dimensions. Today's puzzle photos feature a faded Red Sox singlet and lime-green thrift-store running shorts in the context of sidewalk chalk and a matchy-hue striped construction barrier. What do they mean? Answer correctly, and perhaps you've solved the Hard Problem!

"Excuse me – may I stand on your park bench?" Roadkill asks permission to intrude between two ladies doing stretches at either end of a structure on Sligo Creek Trail. The words "Peace" and "Listen" are mindful mantras on the asphalt. "Instagram that!" suggests an onlooker.

"Now show me what you got!" commands Danger Man, as Roadkill hesitates at the starting line. Off he dashes, for a 1:44 lap at the cushy Blair HS track. A roadside little free library features a small ceramic bell in its mini-campanile. Today's trek yields Coney Count = 2, one cute bunny by a woodsy cut-through and another cottontail in General Getty Park.
