Keys Bartender

Jim wants to reappropriate some words that he feels are used incorrectly. Why get offended by the word when its the context that can be hurtful? What are you a dingleberry?

Jim has an answer for anyone who tells you don't get Old. Do you have a better option? I want to get old but want to feel....o.k. if not great. We get introduced to the casual racist. What is the goal of the casual racist?

New England prepares to get hit by a Tropical Storm/Hurricane before South Florida. Jim fields some interesting inquiries at the Catch Restaurant. We review some issues that crop up in the service industry. Are customers getting ruder or staff becoming surly? Maybe, its a combination of both.

Jim sends a big shout out to a podcast fan in Parris Island, SC, Megan. Megan is training to be a Corpsman. We also talk about the Ciriolis Effect and why it has people studying flushing toilets. Jim's daughter is sent home from High School due to Covid-19 exposure.

We open with the beautiful weather and small crowds in the Keys. Jim fields some Florida Man questions from some friends up north. You may be surprised by the defense of most Florida residents.

Multiple storms in the Caribbean Basin slows the tourist inflow to the Keys. Even though the Keys are not impacted physically it still affects us. The Delta variant of Covid-19 spreads in Florida like mono at a summer camp. The motivations for working out change as Jim ages and he still communicates with his Cat Fisher on Instagram.

A not so close call brings Weather Channel folks to Key Largo and the Catch. Ji like many a middle-aged man gets cat-fished or tries to get cat-fished. A young woman tries to get a quick shot.

Its hard to appreciate the things you have . Whether its the time we live in, place we live, family, friendships etc. It all goes by the way -like new car smell. Jim's dog(Roxie) has intense separation anxiety.

A smooth trip is not always inevitable when traveling as a group. Adjusting to the time zone was a bitch. Jim's daughter gets ready for first day of High School.

Jim gives a not so brief run down of his Polish excursion.
