Sound of peacetime

When I looked up at our delightful sunset, I saw three contrails all pointing toward the same area out west, presumably that thar military base.

When I hear military jets roar overhead, I smile, knowing that's some local lads learning and enjoying. Smile's become a bit wan in recent years, but still, keeping the peacetime.

I think, it is not so in much of the world, that one hears a jet and does not fear.
