[I Buried My Guns]

When I lived in CA I saw the contrail of a (I think) Minuteman missile that was launched from Vandenberg. They set them off every so often to test them, I was told. anyway, I was in San Jose, a few hundred miles to the north, and the contrail, about a hundred miles high and intact in one long piece, went way up into the ionosphere or lithosphere or whatever, and was different colors along it's length, like a rainbow due to the way sunlight interacted with our atmosphere.

It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling because is was an American-made rainbow with a nuclear bomb at the end, which I thought was super neat, but I'm a dork that way.

Me too! I grew up in Cal. and the "Vandenberg sunsets" are a fond memory for me.

Simply poetic.
