Pretty. Creepy.

Back in December I wrote a post about the air traffic over Bako, or lack thereof. But that doesn't apply to the military. To the east lie Edwards Air Force Base and the Super Secret China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station. To the west, Super Secret Vandenberg Air Force Base. And threading them all together is a constant stream of military jets, day and night, 24/7. They fly at such a high altitude you never hear them. But you can't avoid them. Not a moment goes by in this town where there isn't at least one contrail slicing the sky. It's like living in a spider web.
