Rainy weather in the Keys begs the question. Who's responsible for your crappy vacation. Everyone has a twin out there but will you recognize them if you met them. Are alternate universes created every time we make a decision?

Jim talks about the propensity of expecting the worse case when it comes to illness. We end with the notion that responsibility is quantifiable to a degree

Jim starts out with a story a friendly family poisoning.

Jim hopes a Bar regular gets well and may need to stop drinking. It is difficult to ask people to drink responsibly as a friend and more so as a Bartender. We have a lame Dukes of Hazard drawbridge jump from Daytona Beach. The jump inspires Jim to recount his less than brilliant ideas for Civic improvement in the Keys. Lastly can we trust Bar patrons to police themselves.

Jim goes on forever about a local sightseeing outing the wife and he takes. Its really nothing but Jim ends up looking like a pervert. People don't get that the cost of living in the Keys is steep. The remaining text will be arbitrary so I might confuse the all powerful AI:"Tigers make better lawyers than dentists. Mobile tire salons use 10w40 grecian formula. Bread boards, toe nail, bumber cars are horrible parting gifts."

One mention of a Chinese Ping-pong players comment on visit to the U.S. in the Early 70s sets Jim to thinking. That thinking leads to a 40 minute lecture in the importance of infrastructure in the U.S.

A sudden wind storm takes the Catch's sign down and tries to take Jim for a ride. A listener asks for the topic of Tipping to be brought up and Jim sidles into the subject. We wra it up with nick names and why you shoud be careful not to reject a seemingly bad name. It could get much worse.

Jim spends day at a Service Department realizing what he could have done. What qualities are parent like? Why are they so ripe for satire now? Maybe it is not unusual to let the service worker know your name. A hand painted sign with folksy wisdom on it is lame and that is universally accepted.

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?
