Puzzle resolution

I think I have now more or less resolved the follow-up puzzle in yesterday's post at reference 1. At odd moments today, I have been trying new search keys to try and locate the blog written by a server (I think what fast food places in the US call a waiter) who worked for the Red Lobster people. I felt sure that there was some trace in volume 1 of the present blog, that is to say reference 2.

I then got to thinking about other members of the Red Lobster family, and turned up the fact that at the time in question Red Lobster, an Orlando based operation, was once owned by Darden Restaurants. 

This produced reference 4, which gave me a date to work on.

Browsing the rest of March gave me reference 3, the car mentioned at reference 1. The fact that we may have a crayfish rather than a lobster is not really relevant. While reference 5 is perhaps the sanitised version of the blog which I used to read occasionally, ten years ago now. Turned up for me by a feature called 'next blog' or something like that, since vanished. I still miss it, it having been a good way to see what other, very different bloggers get up to.

PS: the snap above may be from the Malaysian end of the chain. Not quite what we would expect in the Isle of Wight, although they certainly do sell lobsters there.

Reference 5: http://rlserver.blogspot.com/. How many UK operations run to a staff blogging facility like this? And right on the button too, with one post from around seven years ago managing to include an advertisement from Wickes for something very like the concrete mentioned at reference 7.

Reference 6: https://thebitchywaiter.com/. A less corporate version of the genre.
