I fed the local deer for most of the summer. The half-life of a rose was about 12 hours.
Every winter day in a Maine backyard, dozens of deer eat oats, apples and acorns from wooden troughs.
Unbeknownst to the deer, four cameras live-stream their every move to thousands of people.

If Notre Dame played football in the ACC, where they play every other sport except hockey, they would have been in the playoffs. It was their choice.
