@SS – All people of a certain “station” in life should appreciate the lyrics of Canola Fields. McMurtry has a gift for fusing nostalgia of the past with reality of the present – one moment you’re in the reverie of the days of misspent youth and the next you’re being slapped in the face by, as Jimmy Buffett calls it, “the now.”

…at least some mouse manufacturers allow some settings changes that may or may not be useful to you.
I’m running Windows 10, but I’m sure the Mac operating system has some equivalent steps.
1) Open the Windows button on the task bar.
2) Scroll to “Settings” and open it.
3) Select “Devices” and open that.
4) Open “Mouse” from that menu.
5) It will be obvious from here on what your mouse manufacturer allows or doesn’t.
I don’t know anything about Vancouver, but we are supposed to have one more day of unbreathable air, also known as unhealthy. I’m in North Idaho close to Spokane, Washington. Just looks like it is foggy.

1. The dust that Pancho bit down south …
It ended up in Lefty’s mouth
2. If my feet woulda fit a railroad track …
I guess I’d have been a train
3. Sometimes I wish I was lyin’ like a cat in the sun …
Instead of workin’ like a dog for the cash
4. One night down in the Quarter that ended in a fight …
Someone got their ass kicked no matter who was right
5. If you tell me what it is that makes your life worth livin’ …
I’ll be obliged to find a single damn that I’ll be givin’
6. Follow the equator, like that old articulator …
Sail upon the ocean just like Mr. Twain
7. Cashin’ in on a thirty year crush …
You can’t be young and do that
now I have an ear worm
But they ARE sung!
More’s the pity, in some cases.
….
Haven’t heard them all but I like this one:

Seven…
come eleven
Nah… find two more and I’ll post the solution. 🙂
Me too, without really trying. But I have to decide – obsess over the last two or get more sleep.
I found all nine.
Me too. Nine, that is.
I followed Dennis’ logic. Now up to eight…
Eight for me too
Seven seems to be the number I’m stuck on. But when I looked up Susan’s solution, I probably would never see 8 and 9.
VJ Day
VJ/Sexual Harassment Day
Exactly. For a nurse to treat a brave able seaman like that is disgraceful (her right hand is probably in his pocket)..
The man plays some tricks with his clarinet!
made it sound like a stringed instrument
I could be wrong, but it sounds as though the clarinetist makes that sound by slapping his tongue against the reed.
Hullo Cleo cadre, and Puzzle People…
I had to fight my way back here, after posting earlier…
Windows and WordPress were both playing tricks.
I hope you opted for sleep, Dennis… cos it’s a bit later than I thought it would be.
…
But here I am, solution in hand… but only for those who have already tried their best.
Poke your nose in before that…and well….
Cleo has a slingshot and she knows how to use it.
You missed the most obvious one — that CVS receipt near the coffee cup is way too short. It should be hanging down over the edge of the desk. 😉
and spilling down the floor and across the room and out the door and down the
sidewalk and……….

…and them my poor meatball
Was nothing but mush!
Alan Sherman did it better :oP
Funny video!
Eight again. 🙂

Mac Mini –
my malicious mouse manufacturer merely mentions the most malevolent machinations
of my Macintosh mouse
Guess it wasn’t a good idea, but it was an idea.
Good morning Cleo Phans and puzzlers extraordinaire!

Y’all thank a Navajo. (((((HuGz!)))))

Cleo thinks the only good ideas are her ideas. Got them all today. I’d go outside and celebrate, but I’d die of smoke inhalation. Another bad day.
We’ve had 4 glorious smoke free days! and today the AQI is 73. Yuccccck!
Yesterday Vancouver was “World’s most polluted city.” Maybe a little better today?
I don’t know anything about Vancouver, but we are supposed to have one more day of unbreathable air, also known as unhealthy. I’m in North Idaho close to Spokane, Washington. Just looks like it is foggy.
our AQI jumped up to 155 right now. Pretty bad. Looks like really bad pollution also.
I’m socked in here, bit I’m not getting any of the heat and smoke. We had some yesterday.
“You Shall Not Pass, Dog” ~ perfect example of Cats Rule – Dogs Drool! I can’t believe all those big dogs are scared of that little tiny fur ball.
I’ll echo that! What sweet kitties!
tiny little fur balls packing very sharp claws
