 :)  Thanks, jess, for sending me the photo and verse.  I love it.

And - I was sitting here just thinking of another fact -

Remember when Diana Ossana put on a tape of Heath in Monster's Ball to show to Larry McMurtry?  Larry said to her: "I don't need to see anymore.  That's our Ennis".  Fate...

I just sent an email to the Government of Alberta, Canada:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Your website at  http://culture.alberta.ca/

Has incorrect information:

"Though set in Montana, Brokeback Mountain was filmed all in Alberta, featuring more than 20 different locations including Kananaskis, Fort MacLeod and Canmore. Learn more about Alberta's film, television and digital media industry at Alberta Film. "

Brokeback Mountain was set in Wyoming, not Montana

I thought I was immune by now.

The last scene made me cry -- again.

I love this so much. I always cry.  Always.   :-*

p.s.  (Is there some way that homophobic and disrespectful slurs can be deleted from the sites?  I hate seeing them, with their ranting and raving and disrepect for Heath and Jake, also BBM in general).
Can we do anything to stop these crazies - it makes me furious.

Not all good and well.

What about all the websites that have the famous mis-quote:  "I wish I could quit you" ?

Don't know. I guess there's nothing to be done about most of them.

Nope. Just getting started.

The Alberta website is still wrong!!
