Jack's pickup lurched as he released the clutch while it was still running and in gear.

"H" is high-pressure

"A few weeks later on the Saturday, he threw all Stoutamire's dirty horse blankets into the back of his pickup and took them down to the Quik Stop Car Wash to turn the high-pressure spray on them.  When the wet clean blankets were stowed in the truck bed, he stepped into Higgins's gift shop and busied himself with the postcard rack."  [story]

"I" is instinctual

Although Ennis had not had any previous sex, he was driven by powerful and instinctual desires.

"K" is Kelvin
« Reply #6374 on: August 19, 2006, 02:16:43 pm »
When Ennis steps out of the pup tent to do his snow dance, we know the ambient air temperature must have been at most 273.16 degrees Kelvin, or it wouldn't have been cold enough for snowflakes to form.


Definition of Kelvin scale
[n] - a temperature scale that defines absolute zero as 0 degrees
Example use of the word Kelvin scale
1. water freezes at 273.16 degrees and boils at 373.16 degrees

Jack would have given up everything, lock, stock, and barrel to have had a life together with Ennis.

Like millions of others, (Alma) can’t find the courage or the words to confront her partner with the truth of his infidelity, much less his sexuality.      Quiet Mastery .. JWR.

"N" is niche

As tough as it seemed to be for him, Ennis was most suited to one niche in life–ranching.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"O" is ostler

Ennis had a gift for caring for livestock and thus could have been a successful ostler.


(Ostler:  one who takes care of horses or mules; a variation of "hostler.")
