FOTD -- October 16, 2009 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in yesterday's image. And that's about all I have to say about it. The image is perhaps a bit more colorful than usual, but nothing more than just a bit above a rating of average. The name "Much of Nothing" is an oxymoron that has absolutely no meaning beyond the sound of the words. The calculation time of 4-2/3 minutes is a bit more than the image is worth, so I advise a trip to view it on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Today's discussion is short because I let myself fall into another useless debate with FL, who remarked that she is still waiting for our latest president to fulfill some of his campaign promises. Needless to say, she is disappointed, while I wonder if it is yet time to say, "I told you so." A most unpleasant day prevailed with the weather as well here at Fractal central on Thursday, as a sloppy mixture of rain and snow fell all day, while the temperature hovered just above free- zing. The fractal cats watched the flakes fall past the window for a while, then retired to their cozy places near the heat. My work day was average. The next glorious FOTD fractal will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when will Superpresident fly out of the phone booth and save us?
