>Previous work at Yellowstone revealed two magma reservoirs: one of gloopy magma 3 miles to 10 miles below the surface, and a far more enormous store of runnier magma 12 miles to 30 miles down. It was thought that roughly 2 percent of the deeper reservoir and 5 percent to 15 percent of the shallower reservoir were made of melt.

These descriptions of viscosity are making me hungry.

You know if you can't find an apartment anywhere because they don't allow pets there is always adoption.

Okay, now that I sorta get it I want one in my town.

True. The concept of ecological restoration is also a moving target. It neither makes sense nor is possible to restore it to how it was before because many of those species of flora and fauna do not exist natively in the region any more, or could survive and contribute productively to the biodiversity of the target ecosystem. You just kind of make a plan, shoot for it, and adjust as it evolves. The Magpie Forest is neat and very accessible but there are certainly a lot of non-native species there now, which is fine. The other ones you mention: Rose Creek Preserve, and the privately accessible one south of town are better examples of what they would aim towards out at Steptoe. I worked at the one south of town and there's nothing immediately spectacular about it that would grab the attention of people who aren't patient, or don't appreciate such things—it's very much a prairie-density sort of land, no water like at Rose, and more of an island within the surrounding agriculture, but every now and then things get very quiet and you look around and you start seeing different species of birds and hawks soaring in the skies above, or you notice the giant but gentle bumble bees all around you in large numbers. Things that are just sort of unobtrusively co-existing, contributing and dependent on that environment.

I think OP may be referring to that strip of untilled soil in the front of the photo which is of course still part of the 99.9% of land used for industrial agriculture, in the Palouse at least. There may be a strip of native prairie down by where you see those trees in the back. That area all the way in the back right around Steptoe Butte includes 437 acres of land surrounding the State Park was purchased by two families for preservation in 2016.

Yeah, one would only have had to go back to June to have an example of both Florida Senators (Scott/Rubio) voting against sensible gun legislation.

>The U.S. Senate late last night, by a 65-33 vote, approved a bipartisan gun measure — the most significant gun-related legislation in nearly 30 years — over the objections of Florida’s two Republican senators.
