The mettle of a man
Front-Ranger:
I agree with you that spurs are conspicuous by their absence. Right now I'm reading another story about Wyoming, The Virginian, which is a classic, and the traveller from the East who narrates the story talks about the constant sound of spurs worn by the cow-boys or cow-punchers as he alternatively calls them.
Front-Ranger:
And Jack's baby shoes were bronzed, as we see on the dresser as Ennis goes into his closet. :'(
Ellemeno:
Those caliper legs of Ennis's always struck me.
On the left, inside calipers. On the right, outside calipers.
Front-Ranger:
Ha, Clarissa, aren't you the one who compared the Acura logo to a pair of calipers?
Just wanted to repost this entire sentence of Annie's:
--- Quote ---The next week Joe Aguirre sent word to bring them down - another, bigger storm was moving in from the Pacific- and they packed in the game and moved off the mountain with the sheep, stones rolling at their heels, purple cloud crowding in from the west and the metal smell of coming snow pressing on them. The mountain boiled with demonic energy, glazed with flickering broken-cloud light, the wind combed the grass and drew from the damaged krummholz and slit rock a bestial drone. As they descended the slope Ennis felt he was in a slow-motion, but headlong, irreversible fall.
--- End quote ---
JT:
I think Jack almost trip over his spurs when he fetched Laureen's hat for the very first time.
