The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Fran]

Joe Aguirre issued his sleep-with-the-sheep rule out of concern for the well-being of his sheep.  He gave little, if any, thought to the well-being of his sheepherder.

There were many hard-to-control variables while filming the xteriors for Brokeback Mountain.

Aguirre wanted around-the-clock monitoring of the sheep which is why he put the sleep-with-the sheep rule into effect.

Jack came lagging in late one afternoon, drank his two bottles of beer cooled in a wet sack on the shady side of the tent, ate two bowls of stew, four of Ennis's stone biscuits, a can of peaches, rolled a smoke, watched the sun drop.
 
"I'm commutin four hours a day," he said morosely. "Come in for breakfast, go back to the sheep, evenin get em bedded down, come in for supper, go back to the sheep, spend half the night jumpin up and checkin for coyotes.  By rights I should be spendin the night here. Aguirre got no right a make me do this."

In their later years together, Jack and Ennis would stare into the campfire, crepuscular light to their backs, symbolizing the end of their relationship was near.

Jack and Ennis would talk and drink whiskey until it got dark, but they kept their deepest and darkest thoughts to themselves.

At the start of the summer, Ennis slept in the main camp and Jack slept elsewhere.

Any hurtful comments from others, such as L.D. Newsome, aimed at Jack only served to foment the storm of thoughts swirling in his mind over his sexual orientation.

Aguirre was gambling that the Forest Service wouldn't discover his violation of the rule about the herder sleeping with the sheep, and Jack and Ennis were gambling that Aguirre wouldn't discover their occasional violation of his rule.
