We want your insight and thoughts for our show Wednesday morning. Traffic deaths are way up. How do you drive on the roads these days? Home prices are up, too. But so is the economy — so are you breathing easier? We'll talk about whatever’s on your mind.
Hit the road, Desert Companion readers! And while you're at it, have a look around. This issue invites you to not only escape to the outdoors, but also to think about the environmental issues affecting our pursuits and our world.
