Chill, explore and invigorate amoung te pines wth a summer pass

During the sizzling hot desert summer, the Palm Springs Tram summer pass is the perfect escape for fresh mountain air and cool breezes. The world’s largest rotating tram cars travel over 2.5 miles along the breathtaking cliffs of Chino Canyon up into untouched wilderness. During the 10-minute journey, tram cars rotate slowly, offering picturesque vistas. Once at the Mountain Station, an elevation of 8,516 feet, there are two restaurants (Peaks for fine dining and Pines Café for cafeteria style snacks), Lookout Lounge for refreshing cocktails, observation decks, a natural history museum, two documentary theaters, a gift shop and over 50 miles of hiking trails.

The temperature at the top is approximately 30 degrees cooler than on the desert floor below. Within Mt. San Jacinto State Park, there are 14,000 acres of pristine wilderness. All trails are accessed by exiting the Mountain Station and descending a concrete pathway to Long Valley, with picnic tables, a ranger station, flush toilets, trails and free guided nature walks.

First responders will receive free admission during June, and up to four of their guests will receive a 25 percent Tram fare discount.

Hikes include the Long Valley Discovery Trail, following nature trail posts around a three-quarter mile loop, and the moderately strenuous Desert View Trail at 1.5 miles leads to scenic overlooks. The pic-

turesque Round Valley trail leads higher up into the mountains. The truly adventurous can contemplate Wellman’s Divide with a 600-foot elevation gain as well as the big prize, San Jacinto Peak, a 5.5 mile hike one way with views of Catalina Island.

The summer pass includes unlimited Tram admissions, a 10 percent discount on additional Tram admissions (limit four per passholder), a 10 percent discount at Peaks Restaurant or Pines Café and unlimited free parking.

The Aerial Tramway is located at 1 Tram Way in Palm Springs. For additional information, visit pstramway.com or call 888-515-8726.

Fascinating facts about the Summer Solstice

• The name comes from the fact that the sun appears to stand still. The term solstice is derived from the Latin words sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because the sun’s relative position in the sky at noon does not appear to change much during the solstice and its surrounding days. The rest of the year, the Earth’s tilt on its axis—roughly 23.5 degrees—causes the sun’s path in the sky to rise and fall from one day to the next.

• The hot weather follows the sun by a few weeks. the temperature usually doesn’t reach its annual peak until a month or two later. It’s because water, which makes up most of the Earth’s surface, has a high specific heat, meaning it takes a while to both heat up and cool down. Because of this, the Earth’s temperature takes about six weeks to catch up to the sun.

• In Ancient Egypt, the summer solstice heralded the new year. The summer solstice preceded the appearance of the Sirius star, which the Egyptians believed was responsible for the annual flooding of the Nile that they relied upon for agriculture. Because of this, the Egyptian calendar was set so that the start of the year coincided with the appearance of Sirius, just after the solstice.

• In Alaska, the summer solstice is celebrated with a midnight baseball game. Each year on the summer solstice, the Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks celebrate their status as the most northerly baseball team on the planet with a game that starts at 10 p.m. and stretches well into the following morning—without the need for artificial light—known as the Midnight Sun Game.

A penny saved The Associated Press reports that more than 66 percent of Americans save their pennies. John Reyes in Los Angeles was cleaning out his deceased father-in-law’s home recently, the home he lived in for more than 50 years. Among his belongings were sealed bank bags full of pennies -- some, one million pennies. Reyes has put his find for sale online, asking $25,000 for the lot. But some are telling him to back off -- that there may be a penny in the stash that is worth much more than that. A

1944 Steel Wheat Penny sold for $408,000 and a 1943 Copper Wheat Penny brought in $250,000, according to one report.

The Troll Apartment A home -- even a one bedroom apartment -- can be pricey in Los Angeles, but a one-bedroom, onebathroom home in the city of Alhambra in Los Angeles County has been posted for sale at the reasonably affordable price of $250,000. But that’s not what is attracting attention; it’s the fact that the “Troll Apartment,” as it is known, is located under a road and over the arch of a bridge. Douglas Lee, who’s handling the sale at the Compass real estate agency, says “it’s definitely the most unique listing I’ve ever had in my entire residential real estate career. There’s a lot of just unique interest. And instead of it being off-putting to people, it’s actually come off as very unique and cool.”

When It’s Time for a New Cellphone

Like it or not, sometimes we just have to buy a new cellphone. When the old one won’t hold a charge anymore or it won’t take the newest security updates, we have to cave in and begin a hunt for a new one.

Sometimes it’s easy. You take the old phone to the same store where you bought it and tell them you want an upgraded version of that phone. You look it over, press all the buttons, like it, and there you go ... a new phone. Most of the time, however, it’s not that easy. Technology moves along so quickly, and so do the capabilities of new phones. If it’s been more than three years since your last phone purchase, talk to friends and family. Play with their phones and see how they feel in your hand. Look up cellphones on the internet and compare the features -- all before you even head to a phone store.

Your choice of phones depends in part on what you want it to do. If you

want to keeps things simple, check out RAZ phones and the Jitterbug lineup. The RAZ phones, for example, only do regular voice and video calls. For fancier options, do you want to cruise the internet, send email, watch videos, make calls, take photos, send text messages or play games? Most of the phones out there now do all of this. Decide in advance how you want to handle the purchase of the phone. Do you want it to be part of a monthly plan or pay for it completely? Do you want to be on a monthly plan at all, which may involve signing a contract? Additionally, ask at the store whether they’ll give you anything for trading in your old phone and whether they’ll transfer your information to a new phone.

Spicy Corn Carbonara

Ingredients:

• 4 ears corn

• 8 strips bacon, diced

• 1 red onion, minced

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• Kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

• 16 ounces bucatini

(or spaghetti or linguine)

• 2 large egg yolks

• 1/3 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Freshly ground black pepper

• Chives, for serving

Directions:

1. Cut the corn off the cob with a sharp knife. Transfer kernels to a bowl and firmly scrape the knife against the cob to release any liquid. Discard the cobs.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until the fat has rendered and it’s very crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

3. Add the red onion and cook, stirring

occasionally, until it’s tender, about 4 minutes. Add the corn and garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Season with the salt and red pepper flakes and reserve over low heat.

4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Scoop out and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.

5. Stir the pasta water into the corn mixture. Raise heat to medium and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Add the pasta to the skillet and toss to combine.

6. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and cream. Add to the skillet and toss well to coat. Add the Parmesan, plenty of black pepper and reserved bacon and toss to combine. Garnish with the chives.
