From: JimMuth@aol.com Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD 01-08-01 (A Midget in a Quandary [8]) Date: 01 Aug 2001 10:28:43 EDT Classic FOTD -- August 01, 2001 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: On the surface, today's image resembles a piece of pop art. Actually it's "A Midget in a Quandary", which is the name I gave to the image. The midget's problem lies in its symmetry. Clearly, the midget is a quadratic one, but where is the 2,4,8,... symmetry that normally appears around such midgets? Instead of a 4-way and an 8-way symmetry, we have a very well defined 6-way symmetry, and this is not a pseudo-symmetry, it is a true 6-way symmetry. To make matters worse, the 6-way symmetry breaks down into a 36-way symmetry as it nears the midget. This would be expected in a fractal created by a formula such as Z^6+C, but today's fractal was created by a combination of Z^3 and Z^4, giving no reason at all for the 6-way symmetry. Features with 3-way symmetry also fill the image. The most prominent of these are located in the six radiating arms, though no midgets lie at the center of these 3-way features. And the area within the 36-way symmetry breaks down into the kind of non-symmetrical chaos that would be expected around the fragmentary midgets of a perturbed fractal. But a closer examination of today's midget shows that it is intact. All-in-all, today's image is a real mystery. If I were rating it according to its appearance alone, I would give it a 6. But when the puzzling mathematical aspect is considered, the picture is well worth its rating of 8. At a bit over 10 minutes, the parameter file renders reasonably quickly. And as always, the GIF image will soon be posted to the web sites of Paul and Scott at: and at: The fractal weather today was of the pleasant uneventful summer variety, with hazy sun and a temperature of 81F 27C that pleased the cats. To please me however it will be necessary for the day's work to be behind me. And it's now time to set out on the road to pleasure. So until next time, take care, and start looking forward to philosophy of the fantastic kind.

It's incredible. It has no right existing. But here it is. I rated it a 9-1/5 because in the mathematical sense, and with no exaggeration, it is the most unusual fractal I have ever seen. (Artistically however it is not all that much.) I have long noticed that the midgets I find in the fractals created with the MandelbrotMix4 formula are all of the quadratic variety. That is, they are all shaped like miniature Mandelbrot sets. At the same time, I have heard rumors that midgets of other higher orders are possible if only one knew enough math to find them. Until today, I have found higher-order midgets only in formulas such as Z^(2.99)+Z^(3.01)+C, which doesn't count, because such a formula is basically 2(Z^3)+C, and the fractal it draws is the expected cubic. Today however I finally found an elusive higher- order midget. But this is not all. Not only did I find a cubic midget, but right beside it and in the same frame I found an order-6 midget. The cubic is not all that unexpected, since the generating formula combines portions of Z^3 and Z^4, but the order-6 midget is a total surprise. Yesterday's image, which showed a quadratic midget with 6-way symmetry, hinted at something very unusual in the area, but not until I stumbled upon today's scene did I realize how unusual. The more mathematically erudite may see what is happening and understand how a scene such as today's is possible. For myself, I enjoy mysteries, and I'll consider today's image a mystery. But I'm going to do a lot of exploring around the area of today's image to see what other wonders I can uncover. I have named today's image "Simply Amazing". That is how I felt when I saw it, so that's what I named it. The parameter file renders in just under 5 minutes, making it a toss-up whether to run the parameter file or download the finished GIF image from: or from: The fractal weather today was more typical summer stuff, with hot sun and a temperature of 88F 31C. The cats, who enjoy such conditions, were kept happy. The clock over my desk tells me that it's already past the time when I should get to the waiting work. So until the next FOTD, take care, and who knows what strangeness lurks deep in the world of fractals.

Seems as though the proximity of these differently symmetrical beasts might speak to the definition of a "neighborhood" in the complex plane. D.

Since all this variety exists, how much more might exist? We'll discover that in future FOTD's. For today however, we have today's image. It is an image of a normal quadratic midget, with the normal 4,8,16-way symmetry surrounding it. I named the picture "Midget with Tadpoles" after the eight tadpole-like tails around the midget. Though the fractal is a mathematical come-down from yesterday's 9-1/2, it is still worth an above average 7. And as an added bonus, the parameter file renders in only one minute, more or less. The fast render time can possibly be made even faster by visiting Paul's web site at: or Scott's site at: and downloading the GIF image from there. The fractal weather today (actually yesterday) here at Fractal Central featured normal uneventful summer conditions. The hot sun and temperature of 88F 31C pleased the cats, but not quite as much as the dish of tuna I treated them to in the afternoon. Before the cats get unhappy again, I'd best involve myself in some productive work. Until next time, take care, and see you then.

[6]) Date: 04 Aug 2001 10:45:40 EDT Classic FOTD -- August 04, 2001 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD pictures another midget in the fractal that has been producing so many strange midgets lately. But is it a midget? That's what I wondered as I studied the scene, searching for a name. The answer is both yes and no. The indecision lowers the rating to a 6. The eight open areas actually resemble things one might see in a Julia set more than they do Mandeloid midgets. Yet the sharply defined surroundings have a kind of Mandeloid feel to them, and the image is indeed oriented in the Mandelbrot direction and located in the critical plane. The answer is simple. The visible image contains no quadratic midget, for none is visible. At the same time, the image does contain a midget, but the midget is far too small to be seen. What the image shows is the ring of 8-way symmetry surrounding a midget, which is located far down in the center of the image, where the spokes come together. At this time I can only imagine the ultimate appearance of the midget, which lies at a magnitude around 10^20, but I am placing today's image in my file of currently unreachable goodies, and holding it until Fractint or some other fractal generator comes out with arbitrary precision math for user-written formulas. Until that time, there is no hurry. The reachable fractal world at a magnitude of less than 10^13 is large enough to keep me busy for at least a million years. The parameter file attached to the bottom of this letter runs in 12 minutes; the GIF image that will soon be available at: and at: will download in 1 minute. The fractal weather today continued in the summer doldrums. The sky was so hazy that any clouds were invisible, the atmosphere was humid, with a temperature of 86F 30C. The cats slept most of the day. Looking at my desk top, I see enough work to keep me busy for at least 1/2 hour. The urge is great to put that small amount behind me, so the obvious thing would be to get started. Until next time, take care, and there will never be a last fractal.

Starting on the outside as a 24-way symmetry, it reverts to the normal 8,16,32... symmetry as the midget is approached. Actually, the vague octagonal shape of the outer ring leads me to suspect that the 24-symmetry is an artifact created by 8 groups of 3 elements. I named the picture "Fractal Popcorn" because the outer ring of 24 elements somewhat resembles a string of popcorn. I realize that Fractint already has a built-in 'Popcorn' fractal, but today's FOTD, which was created, as are most of my images, with the most basic fractal methods, is of a totally different origin. Undecided as to how to rate the image, I finally decided on a rating of 6, which is a little above average. Considering the large, boringly flat area around the perimeter, caused by a too-large logmap value, I could just as easily have chosen an average 5, but the unusual symmetry was just enough to earn the 6. The 15-minute render time of the parameter file is a bit slow, and with the finished product being only a little above average, the best way of viewing the scene is probably to download the GIF image file from: or from: The fractal weather today was hazy, hot and humid, with a temperature of 86F 30C, which was punctuated on several occasions by distant thunder. But the rain never arrived, and the fractal cats stayed happy, lounging all afternoon in the shade of the holly trees. I'm now going to spend most of today lounging -- that is unless I get an uncontrollable urge to go looking for fractals, or even worse, to start philosophizing. Regardless of what happens however, I'll return in 24 hours or less with the next incredible (at least IMO) FOTD. Until then, take care, and be true to your fractals and they'll be true to you.

As a result of the rush, I used a fractal that had already been discarded. The image is named "A Fill-in Fractal" because it is a stand-in for an image that never was.

The rush is still on this morning, so today's discussion will again be short. When I saw the fuzziness in today's fractal, I named it "Fuzzy Logic". Fuzzy logic is a loose type of computer programming that enables computers to more closely imitate human-style thinking, though I doubt that it enables the machines to be self-aware that they are thinking more like humans. While trying to decide whether my FOTD machine is aware that it is calculating fractals, I decided that the image in question deserves a perfectly average rating of 5. This rating is high enough to make the 2 minutes or so required to render the image from the parameter file worth the effort. The pre-rendered GIF image will soon be available on the internet at: and at: The fractal weather today was very hot, hazy and humid. With a temperature of 97F 36C to contend with, the fractal cats thought it best to remain in the relative coolness of the indoors. I've got to run now, but I'll return in 24 hours or so with another FOTD. Until then, take care, and though it's all right for computers to 'think' in a fuzzy manner, such thinking is not so desirable in humans.

I've still got a rush of work ahead of me. It's been the perfect time for a snow cone. My fractal computer did not let me down as it produced an image this (yesterday) afternoon that looks like a midget surrounded by snow cones -- vanilla flavor of course. To make the snow cone, 0.156 part of Z^3 must be subtracted from Z^2 before adding C. The -0.156 portion of Z^3 is very critical, with the slightest change totally losing the midget. I named the image "Snowcone in Summer". The longer name sounds more poetic than simply "Snow Cone". The picture is about average, maybe slightly higher, which justifies the rating of 6. The 5-minute render time of the parameter file can be avoided by downloading the finished GIF image from: or from: But give Paul and Scott a chance to post the image before visiting their sites. The fractal weather today was very hot, but not quite as humid as yesterday. The temperature of 99F 37C kept the fractal cats safely ensconced indoors. I see that the topic of human cloning is once again in the news. This topic always brings out the armchair philosopher in me, so look for some interesting philosophizing on the philofractal list in a day or so. The next FOTD will appear in around 24 hours, and it will be me, not a clone, that creates it. Until then, take care, and if I met my identical clone, which one would be me? More puzzling, if a third person met both of us, how would that person tell which one was me?

what obvious things make this mapping a mangled cubic?  I really would like
to know.

Ii've been intrigued for years with mangled cubics.

this formula (Qubexmangled) creates an infinite number of mangled cubics each
populated with perfect minibrots and of course some not so perfect.  Just
evolve the formula once and youll see what i mean.  My real question i guess
is why do all of these mappings contain perfect minibrots and open

minibrots just self similar mini's and egg shaped mini's (that i couldnt turn

In today's image, the features that resemble snow cones have shrunk and become pinched off. They resemble lima beans more than snow cones or even trees, so I named the image "Lima-Bean Minibrot". The parent fractal is a curious Mandelbrot set with a very unstable hole at the tip of the negative stem, which in this case points east, and is therefore more accurately called a positive stem. This hole comes and goes as the portion of Z^3 (real p2) is varied around the present value. Today's midget is located in the tip of a valley-wedge as the wedge meets and joins with the opposite shore. I rated the final image at a 6, which is just the slightest above average. As an unintentional bonus, the parameter file renders in less than 2 minutes. And for convenience, Paul and Scott will soon have the finished GIF image posted to their web sites at: and at: from where it may be downloaded in even less time. The fractal weather today was very hot, with total sun and a temperature of 104F 40C. The fractal cats were smart enough to remain indoors in such oppressive conditions. As for myself, I've got a bit of work to accomplish, so until next FOTD, take care, and the time for philosophy will arrive as soon as the current busy period has passed.

We get power at a reduced rate in return for giving the power company the ability to cycle the area air conditioners on and off in an organized manner. But this cycling caused FC to heat up to such a degree that the computers could be used only intermittently. It is a rather curious situation we're in, with ads on the TV telling us to turn off our air conditioners when it gets very hot, then turn them back on again when it cools off. An appliance that can be used only when it is not needed is a logical absurdity. A business that must tell the public to *not* purchase its product is equally absurd. Today's image is not absurd however. It pictures a quadratic midget in the fractal created when 1/2 part of Z^4 is subtracted from Z^3. Since the scene is fairly routine, I livened it up with an inside fill of and an outside of . Then I noticed the somber, somewhat mysterious colors and named the result "Mood Indigo". I rated it an average 5. The attached parameter file runs on my machine in 11 minutes and 47 seconds. The GIF image will soon be available on the internet at: and at: The fractal weather today here at FC was hazy, and extremely hot and humid, with a temperature of 105F (40.5C) and a ridiculous dew-point of 82F (28C).

The star burst is located deep in the fractal that results when 11 parts of Z^(-1.7) are subtracted from 11 parts of Z^(-1.5). The parent fractal of today's scene appears as a split Mandeloid with X-axis symmetry, rotated 180 degrees, with its head facing east. From each of the two buds an area of chaotic lace-like filaments extends outward. Eventually, these chaotic areas collapse into single discontinuous filaments, which then loop around and join each other far to the east. Today's scene lies near the point where the northeast area of lacy chaos degenerates into a single filament. I named the image "Mandelbrot Star-Burst", though due to the 18-letter limit to Fractint parameter file names I had to drop the 'star' part. After some intense consideration I rated the whole thing at a 6. I guess it's a bit above average. The attached parameter file not only supplies data, it can actually be run to reproduce today's fractal image. The time required is 5-1/2 minutes. And those who enjoy the internet will soon find the image posted to Paul's web site at: and to Scott's site at: The fractal weather today (August 10) once again featured 99F 37C heat and tropical rain-forest humidity. Sharp showers with some thunder fell through the late afternoon, but this merely steamed things up even more. The fractal cats, established in their summer mode, did nothing but eat and sleep. As for myself, the heat and humidity still prevails this morning (August 11). It's a good enough excuse to spend the day doing nothing but relaxing and thinking deep, meaningful, enlightening, philosophical thoughts. The clone issue supplies enough material for even a non-materialist like myself. I'll return in the allotted time with another fractal and maybe a few of those deep thoughts I'm going to spend the day thinking. Until the moment of my return, take care, and don't get cloned.

To give the image something to brag about, I worked up an extravagant color palette, intensified the colors a bit more, and coated the scene with the bombastic array of hues. I named the final image "Bombastic Minibrot" because, like a skilled politician, it makes a lot of noise while having little to say. I'm not quite sure why I rated it as high as a 7. Maybe I like the visual noise. (Writing can also be bombastic, but that's something we won't discuss.) The iterated formula that created the image subtracts 4.5 parts of Z^(-1.5) from 5 parts of Z^(-1.3), then adds (1/C) instead of the normal C. The time required on my machine for this wonder to occur as a result of running the parameter file is a little over 6 minutes. The time required to go online and pick up the image from: or from: is somewhat less. But before going online, give Paul and Scott the chance to render and post the image. The fractal weather today was mostly cloudy and very humid. What discomfort the temperature of 88F (31C) lacked was supplied by the humidity. To add to the interest, thunder-showers roamed the area from midday well into the night. The thunder kept the cats skittish, but knowing that fractal cats are intrepid, they faced the danger bravely. Trying to keep dry, I'll return in 24 hours or so with another knock-out FOTD. Until then, take care, and have a happy day.

When I decided to rate the image at an 8, I felt I was short-shrifting it. Then when I decided on a rating of 9, I felt I was over-rating it. The rating of 8-1/2 seems just about right. I named the image "Vitality". I brief glance will show why. The formula behind the image, -1.05(Z)+1.05(Z^(-2))+(1/C), draws a fractal that consists of two contrasting Mandeloids in a NW to SE oriented line. The NW Mandeloid has an oversized main bud, while the main bud on the SE figure is undersized. There must be a rational mathematical reason for this particular type of distortion, but I'm not aware of what that reason is. Today's tiny midget is located in a disconnected hole near the tip of a filament extending from a minor bud on the N shore of the main bud of the NW Mandeloid. When rendered with the usual equal-iteration bands, today's image is acceptable, but the option really brings it to life. To see the living fractal, run the attached parameter file and see it in 2 minutes, or wait an hour or so, then go on the internet and download the image from: or from: The fractal weather today was cloudy and very humid, with a temperature of 83F 28C and occasional rain. The fractal cats complained but accepted their confinement. I must now accept that the work before me needs to be done, and the only way I know to finish the job is to start it. When the work is finished, I'll be here with another fractal and perhaps some philosophy. Until then, take care, and be good but not too good.

The option does nothing.

It was not made with the option, as I mistakenly stated in the discussion. But this is just a minor blemish on the otherwise infallible edifice of the FOTD. When I wrote yesterday's discussion, I was very irritated, and not concentrating on my writing. It is very annoying to have work backed up, that needs to be done, and then have your ISP connection tied up by the download of 12 identical 200K files that are intended only to spread a virus. I'm not sure how the code-red virus works, but I think the multiple messages were sent unintentionally by someone whose computer had been infected by the virus. The first thing I did when the 25-minute download finished was to send a very insulting reply to the sender, who probably sent the letters unintentionally and has received many such insulting replies. One must count to 10 ten times before striking the send button. In honor of the whole affair, I named today's picture "Code-Red Minibrot". My flimsy excuse for assigning the name was the large amount of red in the image. I rated the image at a 7. It really is an interesting image, although 'interesting' is a word that is often used when someone wants to express lack of approval without offending. The simple formula (Z)-(Z^(-2))+(1/C) created the image. The bailout radius of also 3600 is also significant, as it is in many formulae involving negative powers of Z. The image can be seen by running the attached parameter file, which runs in 7-1/2 minutes, or by visiting Paul's web site at: or Scott's site at: But before visiting however, give Paul and Scott a chance to post the image. The fractal weather today here at F.C. featured lots of clouds, high humidity, a temperature of 84F (29C), and a lively thunder- shower in the afternoon. The fractal cats were inconspicuous, possibly because they were displeased by my irritated mood. Well, it's now another day, my e-mailbox holds no virus-infected letters, and my mood is much improved. It might even be improved enough to tackle the philosophy I keep threatening to post. But philosophy or not, I'll return in 24 hours, more or less, with the next C-FOTD. Until then, take care, and wait with bated breath.

Continuing this FOTD is one of these actions; naming today's image "Fractal Fall-Out" is another. There is nothing at all in the swastika-like image that hints at fall-out of any type. The swastika is an ancient mystical symbol, which did not lose respectability until the 20th Century, when it's mirror image was chosen to symbolize a less-than-noble political philosophy. But ancient and mystical or not, the twisted cross is no longer considered a politically correct symbol, so not wanting to offend, I could not name today's image "Fractal Swastika". I named it "Fractal Fall-Out" instead. The rating of 7 seems about right for today's colorful, though slightly depressing image, which was created with the iterated formula: -1(1/Z)-0.1(Z^(-10))+(1/C). The render time of approximately 8-1/2 minutes is within reason for all but the busiest viewers. For those busy ones, the GIF image file will soon be available on the web at: and at: The fractal weather today was partly cloudy and, except for a brief burst of rain in mid-afternoon, uneventful. The temperature of 85F 29.5C pleased the cats, who were indoors when the raindrops splattered down. As is usually the case, I've got unexpected work to do. But regardless, I'll return in 24 hours with another fractal. Until then, take care, and though I may occasionally mention political things, I never discuss the topic.

These traditions tell of an earlier, now lost civilization, known as Atlantis, and of an even earlier civilization, known as Lemuria. There are also a few tales of a third lost civilization -- the earliest of all -- Hybornea. At this time, I'll not state my opinion about the existence of these civilizations. (At least not until my next outburst of Philosophy.) But even if the legends have absolutely no basis in fact, their mere existence and persistence in the face of absolutely no physical evidence is fascinating. Also fascinating, and equally unlikely, is today's fractal image, which I have named "Hybornean Minibrot", after the third and least likely of the lost civilizations. I gave it this name because the chance of today's particular fractal scene ever becoming a FOTD was virtually zero, yet here it is. The formula that was iterated to create the image is 0.5(Z^(-0.75))+0.05(Z^(-7.5))+(1/C), a rather unwieldy expression that nevertheless creates an interesting fractal consisting of the usual Mandeloid, facing east, with the usual extra bays, buds, valleys and filaments. Today's scene lies near a node of a chaotic area extending from the southeast shoreline of the main bud. The rating of an above-average 7 is well earned. With a render time of slightly under 8 minutes, the parameter file is the slow way to see the image. A faster way is to download the image from: or from: But it will be an hour or so before the faster way is available. The fractal weather today at Fractal Central was totally uneventful, with some sun, some clouds, moderate humidity and a temperature of 84F (29C). The cats, who enjoy uneventful weather, had a very uneventful and happy day. My day will be happy when I finish the work that lies before me. It will be happier when I find the fractal that will appear as tomorrow's FOTD, but the happiest day of all will be when my philosophical muse once again apepars. Until tomorrow, take care, be skeptical of credulity, but remain credulous and curious.

Before I revealed the midget, it existed only as one of an infinity of abstractions that could be changed, is some sentient being chose to do so, into a form perceivable by that being's senses. Since I am a visually oriented human being, I chose to change the abstraction into a visual image which could be perceived by the human visual apparatus. I named the image "New Fractal Stuff". I realize that every fractal image of any depth shows some new fractal stuff, but the name, though it is not the most classy of all time, is at least an accurate description. The rating of 6, which states that I consider the image only a little above average, is reasonably justified. The iterated expression that drew the image is a simple Z^(2.13)+C, made more interesting by rendering a more remote part of the infinite logarithmic spiral with the aid of the MandelbrotBC1 formula. With its render time of over 55 minutes on my tired old fractal machine, the parameter file is an unusually slow one. I recommend giving Paul and Scott a chance to render and post the GIF image, then picking up the finished image from their web sites at: and at: The fractal weather today was reasonably normal for this time of year in this part of the world, with hazy sunshine and a temperature of 86F 30C. The fractal cats must have approved, because they went about their daily activities undisturbed. Doing the same is my next task. Until next time, when philosophy could appear, take care, and isn't it curious that with a near infinity of time at its disposal, the universe just happens to be in the brief period when we all exist?

There are two locations for these formula collections at Spanky: http://spanky.triumf.ca/pub/fractals/formulas/ORGFRM.ZIP http://spanky.triumf.ca/pub/fractals/programs/ibmpc/orgfrm.zip but they have not been updated in quite some time. I acquired a more recent copy several weeks ago at another web site, but even it was not much more accurate. So have compiled another version which contains all of the data from these, and about 35% more. Anyone interested in this copy can download from the following link: http://www.Eclectasy.com/paul/software/ORGFORM.ZIP Sincerely, P.N.L. http://www.fractalus.com/cgi-bin/theway?ring=fractals&id=43&go Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@lists.xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@fractint.org Unsubscribe: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JimMuth@aol.com Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD 18-08-01 (Zigging and Zagging [6]) Date: 18 Aug 2001 11:06:04 EDT Classic FOTD -- August 18, 2001 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal image is a mass of twisted, broken, zigging and zagging filaments, spiralling down into a Minibrot of the order 2.15. But though the image is totally fragmentary, it holds together somehow into a unit that at a quick glance appears as a single object. The single object might not actually be there as a single unit, but it appears to be, and the illusion of existence rates a slightly-above-average 6. After a modicum of thought, I named the image "Zigging and Zagging". The name is a description of the appearance of the image, no more or no less. It's a fast image, rendering from the parameter file in a little over 2 minutes even on my tired old Pentium-I 200mhz machine. The image can also be seen by going to Paul's web site at: or to Scott's site at: and downloading the GIF image. But before visiting the sites, give Paul and Scott a chance to render and post the image. The fractal weather today was normal summer, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 86F 30C. The fractal cats, who enjoy summer, approved of the conditions. At this time the cats would approve of a run in the yard, so until next time, take care, and keep your cool when the heat is on.

This parent appears as an oversized, roughly egg-shaped outline, filled with chaotic fractal debris in which float countless Minibrots. In addition to the minibrots that fill it, the oversized egg has at its center a double-armed Mandeloid with several bays. The scene of today's image lies near this Mandeloid. The difference between Z^(-1.1) and Z^(-1.11) is small, which explains why 146 parts of it are needed to produce a fractal. Several out-zooms are needed before the entire egg-shaped figure becomes visible, and the periodicity checking must be either turned off or set to something like 25. I was a bit over-enthusiastic when I colored the image. The excessively brilliant and gaudy colors in fact reduce the final result from a rating of 7 to one of 6. But despite the excessive coloring, the sinuous, gently curving filaments extending outward from the central midget are quite obvious. It was these filaments that inspired the name "Sinuous Happenings" With its render time of under 17 minutes, running the parameter file is not unreasonable, but the better way to see the image is to download it from the internet Web sites: or: As always, give those who maintain the sites a chance to render and post the image before you visit. The fractal weather today (Saturday) was uneventful and summer-like, with partly sunny skies and a temperature of 86F 30C. The fractal cats were made happy by the ideal conditions, but Tippy spoiled the good day when he started a fight with a stray who wandered too close to the yard. As for myself, it's late Sunday morning, the work is caught up, and I've nothing to do now but think deep philosophical thoughts. I need to do some philosophical thinking so that I'll have something to say in tomorrow's FOTD. Until then, take care, and when one person's truth is another's nonsense, and neither can prove their point of view, who is right?
