Contrails

I was driving home from work yesterday on a gorgeous spring day. I glanced up through the open sunroof of my 2004 Camry and noticed jet contrails.

That reminded me of our recent trip to the American Southwest with its bright blue skies and contrails everywhere. I never really thought of Arizona or New Mexico as "flyover country" in the usual sense of the word, but clearly there is a lot of air travel to and from the west coast of this country and beyond.
