Keys Bartender

The crowds are still here for this busiest of busy seasons. Is asking someone to mask up the same as asking them to clamp their nipples? The labor shortage continues here in the Florida Keys so if you want to work come on down. Jim's Dad starts posting a ton of photos.

Season is winding down in the Keys. Jim has a tendency to overshare in conversations initiated at the Bar. Photography has come a long way in the last 180 years. Is it a curse or a blessing?

Jim has a long conversation with his father and wonders why he does'nt get moved upto Jr. We send a big thank you to a loyal listener from Knoxville, Sean. The Keys are having a hard time finding workers. In this day and age with all the knowledge we have access to how is racism still a thing with a large minority. Yes, I said it the real minority today are the racist, so there live with it.

Blue Cheeses stuffed olives are the bone of contention once again at the Bar. More people eat them than order Martinis, not an appetizer. Closing time squatters are the bane of the service employees but they rarely get to voice their feelings about them. Cannibalism is not that distant in the human past, will people in the future view meat eaters in a similar light.

The Pandemic has changed dramatically the way we work, shop, educate, socialize and eat. Delivery apps have changed the way many restaurants operate and the small restaurants are not faring so well.

Why not look as if everyday is an adventure filled with promise? Ji takes a co-worker's keys home for the weekend.

The Keys are a tourist driven economy so it woud behoove us to treat the tourists well. Tele-scammers have made it difficult for people who do cold calling for legitimate business. People should not define themselves by their problems. Its never too late to do something good for yourself.

Jim takes his daughter to the Frost Museum in Miami. On their trip they see numerous Teslas. The shows, exhibits, and setting is wonderful. A new hero arises Old Timey Man. You have a rotary phone that needs to be dialed call on Old Timey Man.

A bartender deals with all different types of personalities and beliefs. Why is it that some people are so certain about their beliefs? What role does the moderate play in the conversation of beliefs? Why do they end up on the short end so many times?

We do a recap of St. Patrick's Day at the Catch. William Haseltine, a regular Covid expert on CNN, looks like a Bond villain. A software company name sparks Jim's curiosity about why would a company use a name that is historically associated with a disaster. Finally, why do bartender's bear the brunt of abuse or negative portrayals in the Cinema.
