My Post Pandemic

 Sung to the tune of California Dreamin'

All the germs are gone

I can breathe today

I went for a walk

Threw my mask away

All these rainbow flags

Mostly every day

Toleration scheming

Society afray

California nightmare

Fake Doctor's come to stay

Sung to the tune of California Dreamin'_

All the germs are gone

And the sky is gray

I went for a walk

Threw my mask away

All these rainbow flags

Mostly every day

Toleration scheming

Society of neigh

California nightmare

Fake Doctor is here to stay

California nightmare

Pandemics gone awaay (awaaaaaaay)

My Jet Trails March 22, 2023



 Here is a picture of the sky above my house.



There is a low cloud which is displaying a bunch of bright colors.


There were a lot more colors than the camera could capture.



These clouds are fairly low, perhaps 5000 feet up (1500 meters up) and backlit by the sun.



The colors look like a sheen of oil on top of water. 



I would guess that the red, orange, yellow was oil. I would guess that the blue, violet, ultraviolet was jet fuel or hydraulic fluid.  Perhaps there was a "spontaneous disassembly." This picture is my new screen saver:



People talk about aircraft throwing out chemical jet trails and this would seem to have happened in real life. Here is the original photograph full size.

My Swipe Gesture Opens New Desktop Blue Screen

 My computer started doing something weird. Sometimes when I would move the mouse quickly then my work would disappear and the whole screen was a blue background with light blue boxes. I do not need this feature. There are some help screens which directed me to change some mouse settings, I put those links at the end of this post far below.

.The mouse had become too sensitive, I must have hurt his feelings somehow.

Perhaps he is jealous of the touchpad.

Quite by accident I happened to right click on the Taskbar and a menu popped up. I Clicked "Taskbar Settings" way down at the bottom of the menu, and found "Use Peek to preview the desktop.."  I turned this feature OFF and the computer works OK again. There has been no return of the extra blue desktop.

If you search for "swiping mouse shows desktop not wanted" the result is answers.microsoft.com, en-us, windows, forum, all, how-can-I-disable-the-annoying-swipe-gesture

These suggestions were somewhat helpful, though the annoying blue screen would still pop up from time to time.

Go to the "Settings" screen and select "Devices", "Mouse & Touchpad", "Additional Mouse Settings" then uncheck "Enhance Pointer Precision" click "Apply"

Go to the control panel and select "Mouse". When you select that you will get a tab for "Device Settings", select the "Synaptics TouchPad" then click "Settings", this will show you all of the gestures and allow you to turn them on or off.
