Very exciting chapter! I makes me wonder if Frenchy knows any word other but f**k when he's upset.

The last Frenchy we met was a prostitute at the Redlite Ranch Bordello. She was a lot more classy than this guy.

One of the best adventure chapters in any of Wes's books.

It is even more exciting than my adventure back in the late 1950's in a night raid of my older brother's future father-in-law's watermelon patch in west Kentucky. There were 10 of us that were in that 1953 Chevy sedan that went to the patch. Only 9 of us made it into the car when we were spotted and the patch owner and his son started chasing us in their pickup trucks on gravel roads. We got away and 1/2 hour later my brother-in-law went back in his beautiful and fast 1956 Chevy to pick up my brother where he was hiding in the adjacent corn field. The driver of the 1953 Chevy went on later to fly jet fighters in Viet Nam and then to be the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Clinton's second term.

Got to agree!

Not to hijack the thread, but the description of both Jack & to a lesser extent Frenchy's driving sounds like something off a WRC (World Rally Championship) description of a rally stage. All Jack needed to dump Frenchy were a couple of "Swedish Flicks" on a hairpin turn.

The driving could have also happened at the Lake Superior Performance Rally (LSPR) or the similar event Press On Regardless (POR) annually staged in the UP. LSPR & POR are held in the fall in the UP, LSPR around Houghton, with POR in various parts of the UP with Houghton and Escanaba being the most common.

And what is a "Swedish Flick"?.....well it's a quick turn of the steering wheel along with a good handful of the handbrake to get the rear wheels loose and makes the car want to swap ends without loosing too much speed.

In the American South, they might call that a "Revenuers Turn"
