This one’s for the dreamers

September 8, 2025

Sometimes I wonder if I hit that fourth dimensional gas pedal, with 1.21 gigawatts, and zoomed into 2035 would I skid to a smoky stop in front of a spectacular bricks and mortar “Gallery X”, The Existential Art Gallery of Scarborough. It is of course…
