Beat the heat: keeping your car battery in shape for summer

From the June Issue · Page 22

Desert summers are murder on car batteries — triple-digit heat does more damage than winter cold ever will. In this month's issue, the folks at Interstate Battery walk through the simple checks that can help keep a 110-degree parking lot from turning into a very long afternoon.

This valley is full of stories — the neighbor who worked the Test Site, the family shop that's outlived three booms, the person you can't stop talking about because the whole town has to hear this. Big laughs, hard years, quiet triumphs — sometimes all three in one life. This space celebrates them: people and places alike, in their own words. Nominate someone you admire — or tell us your own.
