I like your weirdly haiku-ic scritches Ron,  this one reminded me of an idea
I had lately...

the birth of the blues.

Blues has always been considered an afro-american invention, but I've never
heard native americans given credit.  I have a friend who makes authentic
indian flutes, and I got one in exchange for helping him with some computer
stuff, learned the scale carved into the holes and wood and the scale is the
same one used in the blues.

Ok, this is a scale that's been handed down through the generations, from
teacher to student, from before the white man came to dominate america, and
it's the exact same scale as supposedly "invented" by the black man.

More likely, after the emancipation, the black man and red man intermingled
and intermarried a lot and it was the adoption of the indian's scale to the
rhythmic structure of the africans that gave birth to the blues.

That, and women troubles.

I looked it up and wiki though, and no mention was made of my theory so
we'll have to assume I'm wrong.

Well, I mean y'all will.  I always assume I'm right or what's the point?

Is that form 1880 or a different one?  I always get my flower tax files
confused.

Reminds me though of the most romantic scene in hollywood history. Between
Will Farrell and Maggie Gyllenhall.  Let me set it up for those who haven't
seen the movie, Stranger than Fiction.

Ferrell plays a methodical tax man, auditing Maggie (Miss Pascal)'s Bakery.
She's annoyed at government functionaries in general, being a Harvard Law
School dropout, and He's been having a psychotic episode of a voice in his
head, narrating his life, all too accurately.  The day before this scene,
she had made his life miserable and his job difficult by throwing up all
kinds of obstacles and annoyances in his way and at the end of the day,
being a basically kind creature, she switches from bitch to mommy and offers
him a cookie. He politely declines.  He doesn't like cookies, he says.

Doesn't like cookies?  She asks, "How can anyone not like cookies?"

He'd never had a home-made  cookie before, only  store bought.  He doesn't
know there's a difference.  At this, she firmly insists and that scene was
great too, as she watches the revelation over his face as he eats his first,
warm from the oven, home-made chocolate chip cookie.  Sorta like the first
time I ate non-factory chicken.

But then he ruins the moment, by insisting on paying for the cookie.  She
becomes wounded and angry.  He realizes that she made those cookies just for
him, because she likes to make people feel good.  And he feels bad.  And
starts to fall deeply in love.  And ...
