Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal rates only a lowly 3. It earned this lowly rating because I was preoccupied while searching for the FOTD by the election chaos here in the U.S. and couldn't concentrate on the business of finding fractals. In the eyes of the world, this election situation must make the U.S. look like an illiterate nation that can't even tally up its own votes. (Which may be true.) Since the confusion distracted me from more productive things, I named the picture "Distracted Fractal" to explain its paucity. I'm not going to discuss the fractal, which speaks for itself. The best way to hear or rather see it speak is to download the GIF image file from the Usenet binary group: The fractal weather today was cloudy with spitting rain that never amounted to anything. The temperature of 63F (17C), was quite mild for mid-autumn. The fractal cats, after observing the morning from the cover of the porch, decided that the outdoors was too wet, and passed the afternoon sleeping. Now it's time to shut down the fractal shoppe and call it an evening. Instead of overloading myself with election hype, I'm going to settle down and watch a great old "creature feature" style movie or two. Until next time, take care, and see you in 24 hours.
