Gentlemen, it turns out on rainy days I cannot use the keyboard.
Too many keys "helping me type", no need for pets.

Fortunately one can (on a dry day, or with perhaps a hair dryer) install:

#/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/66-jidanni.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Bypassed Busted Keyboard"
	MatchIsKeyboard "on"
# IBM Example, but can't use symlinks
#	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd"
	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event0"
	Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection

allowing one to ignore the built-in keyboard, and only use a USB keyboard!
