Today's photo: Great Salt Lake, Utah in 2011. At that time the lake levels were relatively high. Today the level is near a record low. The historic range from high to low is about 20 feet, but the surface area and volume change varies about three times from low to high.

We propose a testing and QC program of 30 days, where we will evaluate them while sitting in red chairs.
I agree. We must take these steps to assure there are no substandard cupcakes get released to the distribution chain. I will be ready to test and evaluate the first batch next week and additional batches each week until the test program is completed.
OK, I'll write up a grant proposal that includes overnight fedex fees to get you two fresh cupcakes - for science.

Several trips there as a child. My dad liked the SW. They used to call that "Schoolmarm's Panties" then it got made polite.
