Strange How Mountains Can Affect our Lives

If Cascades’ high mountain range wasn’t there, eastern Washington State would probably be green, not brown. Instead of 200 sunny days, there would be 200 dreary days. But as it is, people are typically pale in western WA (WW), and tan in eastern WA (EW). Not me. If you don’t want to drive on snow and ice on mountain passes, you only have 5 months annually to visit family. Unless you fly. In urban WW, 6 million people live on half the land mass of rural EW with only 1 million people. For many, one side of the mountains seems to have a certain lifestyle and mindset while the other side seems to have a dissimilar one. To me, it feels like two different worlds. The purpose for everything I post is to enrich your reading of The Taken Trilogy and to give you a little something interesting.
