Morning Miss Linda, You could share some of that rain with us. We'd love to be showered with blessings. We are in drastic drought conditions and under sever water restrictions. I think its the worse I can remember.

Your rain makes for good sleeping weather though! ~Candy   

Good morning! I am glad to see you are getting some rain. We're supposed to get some more later on this week. Right now it is just hot and dry. There is just something wrong when you are heading towards the middle of September and it is supposed to be 95* today... lol

I am guessing that if I go to LaShish, I'll get good service, but I am not in a Shish mood right now... It's a pity that you had such bad service with Applebees in the past that they closed the restaraurant, but I wonder if they sent the crew down here??? LOL We don't go to Applebees very often, just because it's not close around here. W'd much rather stay closer to Denham than go into Baton Rouge. Lots of hugs! Tracy

I didn't know we were close to 55... we usually get off of 55 in Hammond. (Which is where Ashley is going to school... Southeastern) I am right off of 12.

Let's see... best fast food establishment here in DS... There's Backyard Burgers.That's pretty yummy! And I see where they are building a brand new Raising Cane's down the street. Hasn't opened yet. But I am guessing it will be in the next month or so. They are building it in the old Flea Market shopping center. The Flea Market is now an Office Depot (or Max.. I keep getting those two mixed up), and a Petco should be opening up anytime now. They still kept everything else, Cato's, Rite Aid, Radio Shack, etc... Cane's is being raised from the ground in front of it in the parking lot. I could walk to it if I wanted to.   

Still no rain

Is it good to be named Fool of the week?

We had some much needed rain.  Everything looks a lot happier outsided today..

I wouldn't let my husband anywhere my feet....he would just tickle them and I'd have to kick him!!

Benoit Mandelbrot is generally considered to be the father of fractals. He coined the term fractal to describe curves, surfaces and objects that have some very peculiar properties. You learned in school that simple curves, such as a line,  have one dimension. Squares, rectangles, circles, polygons, etc. have two dimensions, while solid objects such as a cube, have three dimensions. The three dimensions define space. Time can be considered a fourth dimension. We normally think of dimensions as integers: 1, 2, 3, . . .

What is so peculiar about about fractals is that they have fractional dimensions! A fractal curve could have a dimensionality of 1.4332, for example, rather than 1. Fractals are not just a mathematical curiosity. Most natural objects are fractal by nature, and can be best described using fractal mathematics. Clouds, leaves, the blood vessel system, coastlines, particles of lint, etc. have fractal shapes. 

Fractals are generated by an iterative process - doing the same thing again and again. Fractals also have the property that when you magnify them they still look much the same. This is called self-similarity.

Happy dusk lindain!
