The Wind Rivers were a series of mountain ranges, part of the Rocky Mountains,

Gorgeous pic.
You lucky girl, being able to scoot around Brokeback territory.

Great idea for May 1st

Interesting Lee that his music is produced by his breath through the harmonica.

Also interesting that his death (according to Lureen - and Annie Proulx did call it an accident in the novella) was caused by the tire essentially knocking the wind out of him and causing him to drown in his own blood while looking up.

I'll wear something blue around my neck tomorrow on Jack and the Wind Day.


Hey Toast, Bud!!  I like your suggestion.  I'll make a point of wearing blue and black tomorrow.  :)

Oh drat! I'm wearing blue and black today! I guess this is one of those rare times I'm fashionably early. ;D

Here's to "Jack & the Wind" day!  A great idea.  It's a lovely day spring day here with just the faintest breeze ruffling the leaves, now & then picking up enough to sway the branches of the trees I can see from my window - perfect for staring at whilst cotemplating Jack.  The breeze is also dislodging some blossoms from those trees that have it & that makes me think of Jack's departure from this world  :'(

Anyway, who's wearing blue & black?
Old Brokeback got us good and it sure ain't over

We are having a very rainy day here today.
Should rain tomorrow too.
Cleaning up all the grit and dirt from the winter, I hope.

Good day to wear my jeans - blue of course.
and a blue hanky around my neck.
Nice day to skulk around the pup tent while Ennis carves in the big tent.

View the Dozy Embrace- with "Spiritual", an instrumental piece by Charlie Haden and Pat Metheney.  (Thanks for finding this Paul.)

Experience Jack and the Wind Day in your own way.

Happy JACK and the WIND Day from the Windy City!


            P.S. Something -- or someone -- blew the top off my front porch light last night!

I'm wearing Blue but didn't have any black! :-\

We should re-make that Patrick Swazey song "She's like the wind" to "He's like the wind"

He's Like The Wind
by Patrick Swayze
album: 
He's like the wind,
Through my tree
He rides the night
Next to me

He leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
He's taken my heart
He doesn't know what He's done

Chorus:
To feel his breath on my face
His body close to me
Can't look in his eyes
He's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything He needs
He's like the wind

I look in the mirror
And all I see
Is a young old man
With only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That he'll stop the pain?
Living without him
I'd go insane

Chorus:
Feel his breath on my face
His body close to me
Can't look in his eyes
He's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything he needs
He's like the wind

Chorus:
Feel your breath on my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league

Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)*{GIRL}
He's like the wind

(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
(He's like the wind)

Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
He's like the wind

(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
He's like the wind........

Just a fool,
He's like the wind

He's like the wind
Just a fool,
He's like the wind
Just a fool.

Hey, I just realized that, without having put any thought into it, I am wearing blue and gray today! Is that close enough? ;)

Actually, the gray is quite fitting for the drizzly overcast weather we are having on this Jack day here in central Texas. Yea verily, the whole world weeps for Jack. :-\
