Dog bless you hesitant Kevin's. Welcome to the Blind by podcast. If this is your first episode,

consider going back to an earlier episode to familiarize yourself with the lore of this podcast.

But if you're a regular listener, you know the crack. We're in the gosset, the gosset of February.

Things are getting nice and sweaty out there.

I experienced my first blast of decent sunshine the other day.

The type of sunshine that hits your back

and lets you know that you have to start changing the clothes that you're wearing, that you have to
