Living By the Big Mountains

    What percentage of humanity lives by large mountains? Some live high up in them, which is a much smaller number of people. Most Utahns live by the large mountains, like my sister in Salt Lake City. I lived and worked in the Wasatch Front of Utah for five years.

    Before that I lived in Chile, sometimes living closer to the Andes or the Cordillera of Nahuelbuta, not large mountains but smaller, a chain closer to the ocean of the Pacific.

    Then I moved to the San Bernardino Inland Valley by the mountains, and later in Los Angeles and Monterey I lived not too far from other mountain ranges. In the east coast I have lived farther away. I can see some Blue Ridge Mountains, but they are more aggrandized hills.

    More later. More about us fortunate or whatever humans who get to live on or near the mountains...
