Well yeah I knew about those and Bloody Marys being a common part of brunch
Yes.
Mostly because I’d work a 4 hour shift and like answer the phone twice and maybe run 2 credit card payments. It was obviously worth it for the club to keep their customers happy by having someone at the desk, but really I had hardly anything to do and the clientele could have easily just set up online payments or whatever. The most meaningful thing I did was to windex some windows and help gather tennis balls at the end of the evening. Doing dishes at least felt like I was contributing something to the operation.
Thx. I agree for sure that keeping the heat from coming in through the windows during the day is paramount.

A compressor in the basement creates energy to blow air into the organ to create a continuous sound. When a chord change happens, it’s done manually. On Saturday, soprano singer Johanna Vargas and organist Julian Lembke changed the chord.
The new sound reminded some listeners of the metallic buzz inside a big ship’s engine room.
The next chord change is planned for 5 February 2022
Don’t submit it to a @Yuv walrus.

In today’s edition of “Riverman adjusts to living in the south,” had a guy unapologetically, to the point he has no idea its bad, call bad luck “so fucking Jewish,” followed by a guy leaning in and saying “now you know how I feel about black people.” Yikes.

I definitely said “I got jewed or you jewed me” when I was a kid, likely picked it up from friends. Don’t believe I ever said it in front of anyone Jewish considering the area I grew up in but I hope i didn’t.
I truly think this guy today has no idea it’s offensive and may not even know what it means. He said it once and I did a double take, then he said it again, much louder! And it was in a place where there were almost certainly Jewish people within earshot.
