Have lost a cousin to COVID today. It’s still killing people.

Be careful, everyone.

What if you took the opportunity to turn your secure pass-phrase into a positive affirmation?

Or a goal? A mission statement? Your intent?

Watching videos on MTV again. Glad to see them. And always struck by how music unravels times and places and states of mind.

15-minute wait after first vaccination. This place is huge and I appreciate the clear mobilization of the National Guard to make this work

Finally registered for my COVID vaccinations. Happy, for me, and that makes me feel better I’m less likely to be the cause of a transmission.

My work day started with my awesome new Logi MX KEYS keyboard not Bluetoothing to anything, anywhere.

I was worried I owned a nicely-weighted, space gray brick.

It’s rechargeable and therefore sealed. The power switch didn’t change anything. None of the key presses in the Quick Start guide changed its behavior. None of the forum posts addressed what I was seeing. So I went rogue. After a lot of searching for any mention of what I was seeing, I began experimenting with long key presses and multiple key combinations and finally got to where I could pair the keyboard to my Mac again.

I was able to hold the fn and F13 keys to get it into pairing mode for device 1. Then, on my MacBook, I was able to use the Bluetooth preferences in the System Settings application and subsequently the Logi Options app saw it again, as well.

Phew.

There is a lot of discussion of justice on the national level.

We have a single case of accountability.

And a lot of work to be done.

When you don’t use the filter basket, the coffee maker doesn’t behave the same way.

I’m left astonished with wonder at how I failed to notice this while I did everything else in anticipatory preparation.

After cleaning up, I’m making a second attempt at coffee, now.

Also: Coffee is hot. Because I have no patience, my thumb will continue to remind me of several failures throughout the day.

The end result is I have cleaned my coffee maker and I will shortly be sipping hot, delicious coffee.

TIL The Trashmen were from Minneapolis.

It’s a bonfire kind of night. Two other yards on the same side of the street as me also have fires in their respective fire pits.
