I was exploring California's wonderful nature on vacation and passed an interesting looking site that looked like a military/scientific installation. Because I am naive, I drove up to the base (Vandenberg afair) to ask for a tour. The local security personnel gave me a very bewildered look all while not taking their hands off their massive handguns. After checking my ID, another friendly soldier with an assault rifle made sure I find my way out the gate. Which is to say: I appreciate every opportunity to explore professionally as well. It is surprisingly hard to see what's going on in a lot of places otherwise.
