(Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica (Full Moon),’ found here). Dark gray skies, overcast/low clouds,and a near-gloomy Saturday evening here on California’s north coast — rain forecast for Tuesday, so there’s that… Add to the ash-like attitude, a real-scary craziness of the T-Rump amplified in an interview published yesterday at CBC/Radio-Canada with Jonathan Greenberg, a journalist for…
