The other morning we were biking west down Aloha between 15th and 14th, and a car caught up to us and swung out to pass. But then the hill gets steep and we picked up speed (not even pedaling), so for 14th to 13th we were neck and neck, until a car appeared heading east and the car on our elbow dropped back--only to zip past us in the backstretch from 13th to 12th, where both of us stopped at a stop sign. To recap: steep, twisty, 3-block stretch of road with a stop sign at the end. The back window of the car read SEE BICYCLES. Now, there may or may not be irony in a car with a biking sticker on it, but Google tells us that drivers with bumper stickers are more likely to be territorial and aggressive. Maybe some truth to that?

• My Ballard brought the best news we read all Monday, reporting that Cuban sandwich savior Paseo, is opening another location today. We have to admit to having dreamed of Paseo's sandwiches (they are that good), so news of a second location is like Christmas in August.
