On buckets, eagles, impatience, and...

Ooh, good call, Katherine. I saw the electric knife only as a contrast to Jack's real one - showing him finally standing up to L.D. after he implies he isn't a man and seizing the knife from him to be the true "stud duck," then we segue to Monroe using an electric knife because he truly isn't a real man (as evidenced further, or proven, really by his inertia when Alma is screaming in the kitchen). But you've taken it one step further and it follows perfectly - he is a replacement for the real man in her life, and nothing more.

I found one last mention of the coffeepot. At the end of the story, Ennis is working at the Coffeepot (must be a ranch) where he takes all the horseblankets into town to be washed (or warshed, nod to Terry) and goes across the street to buy a post card of Brokeback Mountain. It's coffeepot, sans bucket, now. :'(
Brown Eyes:
Oh wow! Good catch!
Front-Ranger:
In the trailer "bookend" scenes, there is a trash can in the same place--just to the right of the entrance as you're facing the trailer. The one outside Ennis's trailer at the end is particularly beat up and dented :-\.
Brown Eyes:
Heya Bud,
Thanks for re-vitalizing this old thread too!
I have nothing constructive to add at the moment... other than this is my 800th post! Yeehaw!
