There are still people who, before getting dressed in the morning, look out of a window and look at the sky, the street, what the weather is like and whether it will stay the same in a few hours or maybe change. and dress accordingly. Some days they are not content with looking and they also open the window and calculate the heat or the cold. His reliance on the senses moves his empiricism. They rely on their own assumptions about their destiny, and this radiates charm. But fewer and fewer people are doing it. Many no longer need to look at the world through windows as if it were a daunting, tiring maneuver. There are endless apps out there that simply spy on the cell phone, letting you know how things are and if it’s going to get worse in a few hours.
Our eyes and our capacity for deduction raise a lot of doubt. Certainties are as lazy as windows. A few weeks ago, very early, I heard my wife say from the kitchen: “It’s going to rain today.” I was still in bed, but I already answered: “Bullshit.” He loves to look out the window. However, I had checked the weather forecast half a dozen times the previous day and there was no sign of rain; most fried eggs. Marta went to work and I did my routines and when the time came I made my daughter wear shorts and when we went out to go to school we discovered that it was raining. It was also cold. Turn back.
It’s okay for me to have the weather forecasts wrong from time to time. The mistake leaves only minor injuries, such as getting wet because you didn’t take the umbrella, or finally having pain in your arm all day because it didn’t rain. Ultimately, though, lightness is a personal matter. On Thursday, without going any further, a national newspaper deemed it necessary to “issue an error notice because of yesterday’s data and weather forecast. [por el miércoles] corresponds to those of the past 5th of July. We apologize to our readers,” he said.
When you’re just a pedestrian, the weather forecast becomes one of those serious, serious but unimportant topics, like the horoscope, whose predictions are always so scary and funny. You are getting old and still not sure what is scam and what is cash in vague predictions that today will be a good day for work or that you will meet someone interesting. The fact that it’s included alongside the crossword puzzle or sudoku, where it all comes together at the end, sometimes makes you believe. But on other days it seems to you unquestionably a fictional genre. I had a partner who ran the TV and Hobby pages of a local newspaper. One day he asked me what sign this was. I told him Aquarius and he improvised in two seconds: “These are not your best hours. Control. If you can close a deal, don’t hesitate. Get your energies moving. You’ll get through this.” It was written and published as it was the next day, and in all the years that followed, the prophecy was fulfilled several times, as in the novels.
