Last week's challenge: 

Start with the names of the classic albums TAPESTRY and BLUE. Change one letter to an L and you can rearrange the result to spell a six-letter word for someone who might clean up after a fancy dinner and a six-letter word for things they might clean up. What are the words?

Answer: If you change the Y to an L, you can spell BUTLER and PLATES.

THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: Summer checklist On-air questions: OK, Mike, today is our last show of August, which means, much to my chagrin, that summer is running out. With any luck, we’ll have a few more weeks of warm weather to fit it all in. But before we change seasons to autumn, you might have a few more summer items on your to-do list. Today we’ll try to finish it up. I’ll describe what you’re doing, and you tell me what it is.

1. If you have clipped your Shimanos into your Argon 18, Trek or Quintana Roo
2. If you’re at Bondi, Copacabana, or Bathsheba
3. If you are at Governors Ball, EDC Las Vegas, Bumbershoot, or Firefly
4. If you’re watching the River Bandits, Grasshoppers, Cannon Ballers, Blue Wahoos, or Mighty Mussels
5. If you’re enjoying Phish Food, Oat of this World, Netflix and Chill’d, or Karamel Sutra Core
