I had solved this issue with a small USB LED lamp on a flexible gooseneck lead. That older Dell keyboard has a hub built in with two ports that can support this light and the mouse.

How many optometrists does it take to change a light bulb?

One… Or two.
One……… Or two.

Static lighting available with this one.

I considered the exterior lighting, such as the USB light, but it didn't work as well for me.

I just tested positive for COVID. Yay

Friday evening, wont be able to contact my Dr till Monday. Lucky me. lol

I tested negative for corvids, so I have nothing to crow about.

COVID-19 Threat Remains Low for Most People

COVID-19 certainly appears to be spreading, but it’s not causing serious illness in large numbers of people as it was earlier in the pandemic.

“Newer COVID-19 variants have very mild symptoms in general compared with the earlier variants, and can very much mimic the common cold,” Winslow says.

COVID-19 Variant ‘Eris’ Is Dominant After 8 Straight Weeks of Rising Hospitalizations

Hopefully this is good news and yours won't be serious.

So far ibuprofen has knocked down the temp. I should know by morning how this is going to play out. My son has had it the last three days and seems to be getting better already. Hopefully that's how mine goes.

Eris??? I thought the next variant would have to be Pi.

How can we make puns about Eris? Do they think we'll be shown the Eris of our ways?

Quagga mussels have been found in Idaho. That is an issue, but anybody who remembers the game Rogue, like me, will expect to see 'Q's all over the place. Apparently, they don't look like that.

Hmmm, chicken fingers.

Chickens have claws.

*talons

I've met a few talon-ted chickens.

I get confused by cultural references I encounter in the speech of people who speak a kind of English but grew up or live in other countries.

Is there a meme about "Uncle Toby?" I'm thinking England, maybe Wales? Because all I can find is an oatmeal company.

I got the idea this is some stereotypical label for an old guy who spouts ignorant opinions on almost anything, most often from a somewhere right of center slant. Sort of like an "Archie Bunker" or something.

Anybody watching "Gen V" that new series? Worse than "The Boys" was, not sure I'll keep watching it.

Never heard of Uncle Toby, but then again, I'm not so young.

There's rain in the forecast. Perhaps it will be a damp fall?

A friend and his family were vacationing in the Coure d’lene area of ID. Said they hit rain most of the way back to Bend yesterday.

Yes, it's been oddly wet.
