Once here recently I was chasing a recipt that had blown out of my car across the parking lot.
everytime I just about got my dern hands on it the wind would blow it about a foot ahead.
Finally I said "Very funny Jack, now can I getthat recipt?" I walked right over and picked it up wthout another gust of wind to blow it away. I can just imagine Jack sayin "Aww heck, I was just funnin ya! " :laugh: :laugh:

I do, too, Chrissi. It's amazing, really - in a good way. :)

Hey Bud! It's one of my favorite metaphors from BBM too. :)
There are so many good, old, classic threads here in Open Forum. Sometimes it really is fun to sit and read through some of the oldies-but-goodies. 8)

I love this thread too, friends. I love that Aguirre thought Jack could control the weather and cure pneumonia. I love that Jack played harmonica and pumped up a tire. All those things he knew could get him killed and did get him killed, but he did them and we celebrate that he lived and loved in windy Wyoming.
