"Gnomes riding rabbits and snails!" Roadkill spies lawn decorations at a little house in Danger Man's neighborhood. A woodpecker hammers on a tree. "Doesn't that cause Traumatic Brain Injury?" - "Or maybe Traumatic Mind Injury? Is that TMI?"

"A Woman of Valor - A Woman of Vision - A Friend to All Children" reads the commemorative plaque at Henrietta Schwartz playground. We join R-Squared for a half-dozen miles and reminisce about classic comedy — "The Odd Couple", "Gilligan's Island", "Petticoat Junction", "Green Acres" — and collaboratively identify most of their actors.

"You can't step into the same river twice!" Danger Man quotes Heraclitus as Rock Creek flows below a bridge. He demonstrates how to do planks and other bodyweight exercises at Ken-Gar. Delicate blue irises bloom in swampy lowlands by the trail. A half-marathon training group dashes past, and further downstream there's a CrossFit pack, many wearing weight vests. "We run a mile, do 100 pull-ups, and then start the REAL workout!" says the leader.
