Congratulations to my (team) mates on our 140th Round.

=compliment=
Speaking of "bet," I would have bet my life that "bet" was already used.  Great find, Lee!

"Below it he drove a nail and on the nail he hung a wire hanger and the two old shirts suspended from it. He stepped back and looked at the ensemble through a few stinging tears." Story

They got the big tent up on the Forest Service's platform, the kitchen and grub boxes secured. Both slept in camp that first night, Jack already bitching about Joe Aguirre's sleep-with-the-sheep-and-no-fire order, though he saddled the bay mare in the dark morning without saying much.   [short story]

"He didn't know which way it was, the tire iron or a real accident, blood choking down Jack's throat and nobody to turn him over.  Under the wind drone he heard steel slamming off bone, the hollow chatter of a settliing tire rim."  [short story]

The mountain was like a cloak of invisibility, shielding Jack and Ennis from the world (so they thought).

Ennis:   (raising his glass) "To Alma and Kurt."
Alma Jr. laughs, and clinks her glass with her daddy's.    [screenplay]
