A: Is that a Rambler?

Q: What unusual creature is located in Aguirre's trailer?

*****

Great answer, Chris!

I think it is a Rambler, it looks like the word "Rambler" is written on the rear of the vehicle.

the head of a baby Big Horn lamb is nailed to Aguirre's wall.

A:  Your favorite - bluebirds!  :)

Technically, (or is that teleconnectly?) I guess you are right. But, what I meant was, what connects Aguirre's head and his desk SYMBOLICALLY in the story?? Care to guess again?
"chewing gum and duct tape"

Ash?

Yes, definitely, Fabienne, his hair was the colour of ash and the bakelite ashtray on his desk was brimming with cigarette ashes. Brilliant!!

wow, that went over my head. I'm curious, how do "ashes" connect Aguirre, the Jack/Ennis "wedding" scene and the story. There is a line in the ss about his hair being the color of cigarette ashes, but I suspect that you are making a deeper point here.  :)

I agree with the Rambler, but I thought it was a "jackelope" on Aguirre's wall.

what is a jackelope? I called up some pics of a Big Horn lamb and it sure looks like the trophy on Aguirre's wall.
