The strangest things bubble to

The strangest things bubble to the surface of my mind while I'm driving. I thought of some blues lyrics today in the car on the way to work:

My baby cheated on me,
So I went out and got a gun.

My baby she cheated on me,
So I went out, went out and got me a gun.

She thinks I'm just a loser --
Now I'm gonna show her who won.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

(Incidentally, this has no bearing on my relationship with Cinnamon. It just came to me out of the blue.)

Thanks, I know Jimi's song. He wasn't the first to write something along those lines -- killing one's cheating spouse is a common blues theme.

Right... Well, as Shefali (Pranav's wife) told me late one night when they still lived on Ohio near the lake, "There's a psychological reason for everything."

Hmm. That's probably true. But I mostly just enjoyed the last couplet, and built a blues lyric around it so it made more sense.
