One day, in the backyard, I found a jawbone from a deer (we have lots of deer in the Hudson Valley).

My initial guess was that an animal must have found a dead deer and was eating it and left the jawbone in our backyard. Yuck!

MOVIES

Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood (2022) is an animated film that takes place in 1969, not long before Apollo 11 lands on the moon.
