When did Wisconsin become South Korea? Does that mean Canada is North Korea?

Not sure if this is something you'll be able to share publicly, but with your company's rebranding and, I expect, growth into areas beyond flying, what types of job openings do you anticipate having at your company in the next year?

I enjoy where I'm working now, but I've always been intrigued by SCF and followed your postings when they come available.

I would say this is the one time where I wouldn't be so quick to blame Congress. Wildlife biologists are also recommending the delisting of wolves so as to protect the integrity of the Endangered Species Act.

The status of the wolf is very much in a gray area. Some say that levels have rebounded to the point where the animal is not endangered anymore. In that case, states should have management plans in place to manage wolf populations along with their other state management plans. If wolf populations have indeed rebounded sufficiently, they should be delisted to protect the integrity of the ESA.

Others, such as Earthjustice, say that the wolves should not be delisted. Whether that be because they believe the populations to still be considered endangered and not meeting the criteria of the ESA, or because they do not think proper management plans are in place by the states.

People on both sides attempt to make this out to be very black and white, but it's not. There is a ton of subjectivity, which makes any kind of discussion very heated.

At least we did something right in MN.

Well, as the water travels through limestone, it picks up some of the calcium carbonate (CaCO3). So my question is could the oxygen come from the limestone molecules instead of from the water that is traveling through it. You have the H2O (sorry, doing this on my phone so I can't do the subscripts) + CaCO3. That gives us oxygen from two seperate samples. How do we know the oxygen isotopes are from the precip and not the molecules the precip encounters as it travels through the rock.

After all, the limestone is necessary to have the stalactites and stalagmites in the cave anyways.
