We’ve been on a mountain bike clinic road trip smörgåsbord, starting in Bellingham a few weeks ago and then cruising through Hood River and ending up this past weekend near our hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah. This past weekend we coached a camp up in Park City, where it was a breezy 92 degrees for our afternoon rides—a temperature that is ridiculous in its own right yet still a respite from the record-setting spree of triple-digit temps currently being recorded down in the valley. This is not normal. Utah is generally populated by people who say they like the heat, in large part because it’s not too hot. That was our mantra when we grew up here: "It’s not like Arizona hot." Except now it is Arizona hot here.

It's that time of year again...the startup of the fall season of TV, and the chance for Seattleites to nab their 15 minutes by appearing on various reality shows. We already love Jude and Jacob, the Lakewood twins on MTV's The Reality Show. (The conceit of the show: Ten pitches for reality shows battle it out in order to be picked as...a reality show.) The hook for the Lakewood fellas? The search for love. The catch? Jacob like girls, and Jude likes boys. But we like 'em 'cause they seem sweet and funny and they are self-described "jumpropers."

Perhaps you never told your little brother that it was you who hid gum in his hair and stuck his hand in warm water while he was sleeping. He's always thought it was your older brother Paul, and you've let him think that since 1976. We've all got something to come clean about. Even Election Director Dean Logan might just eventually spill about those mysteriously missing ballots. We say, let it out, no point in holding it in any longer.
