They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains. But climate change could cause these critters' numbers to dwindle, according to wildlife experts. Like polar bears, Pikas may predict warmer temperatures, scientists say.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

Welcome back to the best part of your week. The good... Jack Layne did completes fewer than 50 percent of his passes (he went 11-of-25). The bad... The Ducks did not win by 52 or more points (they won by 10), two non-starting wideouts did not find the end zone (Tez Johnson was the only WR to score), Dante Moore did not throw multiple TD passes (he never entered the game) and three turnovers were not forced by a new transfer player (Brandon Johnson was the only to do so).
