And there there was this tongue-in-cheek headline out of the UK in The Sun (LINK):


It's a little hard to read but that bottom line in The Sun headline says: "The sport has a key link to the university."

Green Alert Take: You can probably guess what the "sport" is. ;-)

EXTRA POINT
When we lived on the shoulder of Moose Mountain in Etna we'd regularly hear coyotes howling at night, but they always stayed out of sight. Although we only occasionally hear them here at our Vermont hillside home last week I spotted one in our field along toward dusk – and it spotted me. We probably spent a good 15 seconds staring at each other before it turned tail and ran back into the woods. I'm not sure who was more surprised at our encounter, the coyote or me.
