I leave this afternoon for my great-uncle-in-law's place a few miles outside a Todd County hamlet. I'm not going in to the office, but calling in for a meeting, busy time of year and all.

I wonder what songs will by my earworms out on the stand. My first year hunting was the year of the Halloween Blizzard, and I can still remember staring across a snow-covered field with "Lola" in my head. Just parts of it, really, as I wasn't particularly familiar with the tune, and I had heard it on my father's oldies radio station on the pickup ride out to the country. So really, I was just spelling "Cherry Cola" and "Lola" for hours.

In a more recent year, I've had the English-Language works of Säkert! (that is, the Hello Saferide discography) on mental loop. (Aside: new Hello Saferide!?!?! I thought she had retired that.) Oh crap, I just listened to "Anna" again. I'm wrecked right now and I may be singing that to myself all weekend.

Update: Hello Saferide is still great. Feel free to follow those youtube links and join me down this rabbit hole.
