Last time I was there was in 2019 to scatter John's ashes. Time for another trip for me. What about others?

Would be nice.

Be nice to see the Big Horns again some day, Ten Sleep, and Buffalo, and the Medicine Wheel, too.

I have a friend who plans to vacation in Denver this July and wanted me to go along. Aside from the fact that right now I feel too wrapped up in the business of my father's estate to go anywhere, I told him that if I only got as far as Denver and then couldn't get up into the Rockies, or up to Wyoming, I'd be miserable.

It's been so long now since I've been out West I'm not even sure how to find a plane to Denver anymore.  :(

Grammar question: Ennis said, "I'm not no queer." That's a double negative so was he saying that he was, in fact, gay?

That would be subtle even by Ang/Larry/Diana/Annie standards!

Isn't that just how they both expressed themselves, sort of rural?
