    Seems pretty scrutable to me.

    It means that he’s destined to get in a lot of trouble. In other words, a typical summer ahead for Calvin.

    Based on my reading of Greek mythology; if you get an omen, no matter what you do, it will be the wrong choice.

    All  auguries are inscrutable. Foreseeing the future by looking at clouds isn’t a thing, so far as I know, but if it were, it would be “nubemancy” or some such.

    It’s like obeying a god who doesn’t say anything.

    Oh, it’s scrutable enough. Even Calvin doesn’t like Calvin.

    Hmmm … I thought it was a threatening sky. Was surprised to learn it was actually an inscrutable omen.

    A Calvinistic omen? Or an anti-Calvinist omen?

    I don’t think I’ve ever used the word “inscrutable” in my entire life. Heard the word, sure. If I DID ever use the word, I was being sarcastic or acting the role of someone haughty. It just isn’t a word that works its way into regular usage.

    I don’t know. I’m more wary of the scrutable omens I have been seeing lately.

    Could be worse – the cloud could have peed on you. (Now where have I seen that before?)

    It’s saying you’re your own worst enemy, Calvin. The recent time travel arc is just one of many examples.

    ’Cause the free wind is blowing through

    Your hair

    And the days surround your daylight

    There

    Seasons crying no despair

    Alligator lizards in the air

    Cloud omens don’t always spell disaster: True Story- One day while stopped at a traffic light, I looked up and saw a cloud formation that appeared to be a giant hand, with it’s middle finger extended. I reluctantly moved when the light turned green. The rest of the day was no worse than usual.

    Some “omens” are so far from inscrutable it as if they’re using megaphones to say, “Yes, that’s right, what’s coming really is exactly what it looks like, if not worse!”

    It depends: is that Calvin in the clouds or Lisa Simpson?
