Welcome to the Blind Web Podcast.

If this is your first episode, consider going back to an earlier episode

to familiarize yourself with the lower of this podcast.

It's the 24th of July.

The sun hasn't shined in Limerick City for the entire month.

For all of July, it's been overcast and rainy and hot which I don't

really mind because I can trust that weather it's the sunshine you can't trust because you don't know when it's going to disappear.

And when the sunshine does come, it's so rare that it's kind of difficult to enjoy a clear sunny day in Ireland.

You can't mindfully enjoy the sunshine because you spend all your time worried about

whether you're enjoying it enough.

Should I go to the beach?

Should I wash all my clothes and dry them in the sun?

Should I be having a barbecue?

Should I be at a party?

Fuck it, I'd love to play a video game and I'm wasting the sunny day.

So I much prefer the predictable grayness of July.

It's completely overcast.

You can still wear a t-shirt. It might rain, but the weather's asking nothing of you.

You just have to accept it. Joe Biden is no longer going for President of America

and it's looking like Kamala Harris is going to be the Democratic

nominee. I don't know how I feel about any of that. Like I definitely don't want Trump, but at the end of the day America is a colonial empire
