Broken in Two
Front-Ranger:
According to the Continental Divide Alliance, the Continental Divide breaks into two separate lines at the Wyoming/Colorado border and dosen't come together again until the Bridger National Forest area. A vast area of central Wyoming is a no-man's land where the rivers don't drain either to the east or the west. This has led to some interesting geologic formations, such as the Muddy Gap, where many covered wagons foundered during the historic Westward migration of the pioneers.

This is the location of the Red Desert, and one of the main reasons for its' geographical and botanical fascination: what's put into and onto the Red Desert, Stays in the Red Desert. Consider it a naturally occuring Vegas, writ large.
It does not end up in either the Atlantic, Pacific or Gulf. It remains in this no-mans-land permanently

Kinda like Ennis. Coincidence? :(
brokebackjack:
In this case probably a coincidence. But that story is so well constructed---even the punctuation matters, very little IS coincidence. You got me very curious when you asked if it was a coincidence, VERY curious... I'm goin to ask about it.
Sandy:
Ok, this is probably stretching at all a little ::)
When Ennis' nose is hurt by Jack's knee, Jack tries to mend Ennis' hurt by holding him and saying, "it's alright". He wipes his nose and gets blood on both (separate) shirts. As we know, blood tends to stain and the shirts are ruined. Instead of attempting to wash the shirts (and thus fix them), Jack leaves them spoiled. And mends them by putting them together, blood on blood.
Sorry for my random musings :laugh:
