Monsieur Mediocre: One American Learns the High Art of Being Everyday FrenchA hilarious, candid account of what life in France is actually like, from a writer for Vanity Fair and GQ Americans love to love Paris. We buy books about how the French parent, why French women don't get fat, and how to be Parisian wherever you are. While our work hours increase every year, we think longingly of the six weeks of vacation the French enjoy, imagining them at the seaside in stripes with plates of fruits de mer. John von Sothen fell in
A hilarious, candid account of what life in France is actually like, from a writer for Vanity Fair and GQ Americans love to love Paris. We buy books about how the French parent, why French women don't get fat, and how to be Parisian wherever you are. While our work hours increase every year, we think longingly of the six weeks of vacation the French enjoy, imagining them at the seaside in stripes with plates of fruits de mer. John von Sothen fell in love with Paris through the stories his mother told of her year spent there as a student. And then, after falling for and marrying a French waitress he met in New York, von Sothen moved to Paris. But fifteen years in, he's finally ready to admit his mother's Paris is mostly a fantasy. In this hilarious and delightful collection of essays, von Sothen walks us through real life in Paris--not only myth-busting our Parisian daydreams but also revealing the inimitable and too often invisible pleasures of family life abroad. Relentlessly funny and full of incisive observations, Monsieur Mediocre is ultimately a love letter to France--to its absurdities, its history, its ideals--but it's a very French love letter: frank, smoky, unsentimental. It is a clear-eyed ode to a beautiful, complex, contradictory country from someone who both eagerly and grudgingly calls it home.Binding Type: Paperback

Comes with Battery!
Pattern Name: New Version, Color: Silver
The HP X3000 G3 Wireless Mouse (Silver) is a dependable, easygoing everyday mouse that delivers solid value for its price. It’s lightweight, comfortable to hold, and the side grips make it feel secure during long stretches of use. The scroll wheel moves smoothly, and the 1600 DPI sensor paired with Blue LED tracking keeps navigation accurate on most surfaces. One of its biggest strengths is the battery life, which can last up to 15 months on a single AA battery, making it a great option for travel or anyone who doesn’t want to think about charging. While it’s excellent for general work and browsing, it’s not built for gaming or precision‑heavy tasks, and it doesn’t offer extra buttons or customization features. A few users mention occasional sensitivity quirks, but overall it’s a reliable, no‑fuss mouse that handles everyday tasks with ease.

Dependable, Reliable

As advertised. Logitech, best mouse for your hard-earned cheddar!
It’s not that the (years) old Logitech mouse failed in any operational way, it just got that gummy, sticky surface texture that’s impossible to remove. While shopping for a replacement I noticed an off-brand mouse/keyboard combo and thought, “hey, 2 for 1”…mistake. All was well for about three weeks, long enough that when the gremlins arrived I didn’t immediately associate the new hardware. For the purposes of this discussion, gentle reader, know that I run legacy (what I affectionately refer to as, “Lazarus”) builds. Rigs that started life running Windows Vista/7, died, and that now, resurrected, run 10 and 11, and all that that implies. So, when a mouse started stuttering, of course I thought it was a gremlin in the machine, right? I spent more days than I am comfortable sharing with you pouring over processes and background apps, and registry trims…before Accam’s Razor suggested I eliminate the mouse as a variable. Changing the battery was ineffective, but when I swapped in the ooold Logitech…Yahtzee/Bingo/Booyah…smooth and precise…butter! All I needed was a new Logitech mouse.
So, if you’re here you likely are having mouse issues of your own, or you just need one that works…this is it!

Nice and a great value.
Size: 1 Pack, Style: USB Receiver, Color: Swift Grey
Hey, it works well. Just plug it in and you are ready to go. Only issue, minor, no light or color coding on back to indicate on or off.

Smooth and ergo nice mouse.
Size: 1 Pack, Style: USB Receiver, Color: Swift Grey
I needed this little thing quickly and got it within 2 hours of ordering. It was only an extra five bucks to get it now. Would have burned more than that in fuel. Works exactly as I would have expected. Perfect.

Simple and efficient
Size: 1 Pack, Style: USB Receiver, Color: Swift Grey
This is a dandy little item. Easy to use straight out of the box, No fancy bells and whistles.but why should a mouse try to replicate commands that are on the laptop?
