dreamsharkI loved my 7 year old Logitech M510 five-button mouse, but the side buttons were getting sticky and had to be pumped 5 or 6 times to make them work (I have mapped those buttons to CUT and COPY and the scroll-wheel button to PASTE, and I use these buttons constantly). It turns out that this venerable mouse is still being made, but I figured if I'm going to spring for a new one I might as well spend a little more and upgrade to SIX buttons. So I ordered a Logitech G603. This is a gamer-class mouse and thus much more challenging to configure. Actually it wouldn't have been hard at all if devices weren't routinely shipped these days without written documentation. So it took me literally a couple of hours to figure out which cryptic piece of software I needed to download and install and how to get past the early screens of incomprehensible choices having to do with DPI and power settings and connections to Discord to get to the screen where you map the mouse buttons. Other than that, it was a piece of cake. It instantly connected to the tiny little USB receiver and drives like a sports car, fast and smooth. I didn't really have any particular plans for the 6th button, finally mapped it to SELECT ALL. I might actually use it for gaming if I decide to go back to the Bioshock world. In the meantime, Logitech makes great mice, and I like the way they fit my hand.
I started watching "Gentleman Jack" on HBO, a show I really wanted to like. But after 2 or 3 episodes I realized that the main character just totally creeped me out. Which can be okay if the creators realize that their character is a creep, but not so much when they confidently expect the viewer to identify with this person, or at least root for them. So I switched to "The Flight Attendant," which turns out to be brilliant. At least so far. Shows with a murder mystery at the center so often collapse into a heap of nonsensical plot devices by the end, and I'm not far enough along to be sure that won't be the case here. But so far I'm loving it.
And yes, Cub Pharmacy does take walk-ins for the flu shot, so that was easy. I also got a set of basic labs (at ParkNic, not Cub) in advance of my cardio checkup and was pleased with the results. Blood glucose still rock solid at 79, and everything else was also well inside the target zones. Health Partners hasn't been especially forthcoming with the inoculations (there was a FOUR-WEEK WAIT for flu shots!) but they are lightning fast at posting lab results online.
