Irony & Sunrise on the Plains

In my 20s, I lived in Mid-Wilshire Los Angeles, with an estimated population density of 15,000 people per square mile - though it is almost certainly much higher due to the massive number undocumented residents. 

In my 30s, I lived in Brooklyn Heights, New York, with a population density of 62,000 people per square mile. 

I felt so lonely in both of those places. 

Out here in the Mountain West, often with no one around for miles, I never, ever feel lonely.
