Well the title of this episode could be applied to Jim's singing or the topic of our internal monologue. It's slow season in the Keys so we do what we can but what we don't have to do is fret over people's intentions. Our minds do a wonderful job of filling in the blanks many times at our expense. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

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?

New England prepares to get hit by a Tropical Storm/Hurricane before South Florida. Jim fields some interesting inquiries at the Catch Restaurant.

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.

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.

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

Jim and family are in Poland. Jim gives a run down on things you might want to know when visiting Poland. He fails miserably in conquering the Mountains trails. He would be one of those people that need to be airlifted from the side of the mountain. Next stop Warsaw.

Jim gets his leg caught in a bear trap and has to hack off his leg but he picks the wrong leg. No, nothing that exciting. Jim looks for a new belt for his trip and has few options in the Upper Keys.
