To create a Koch snowflake, one begins with an equilateral triangle and then replaces the middle third of every line segment with a pair of line segments that form an equilateral "bump." One then performs the same replacement on every line segment of the resulting shape, ad infinitum. With every iteration, the perimeter of this shape increases by one third of the previous length. The Koch snowflake is the result of an infinite number of these iterations, and has an infinite length, while its area remains finite. For this reason, the Koch snowflake and similar constructions were sometimes called "monster curves."
I am fast approaching the last day of Chapter: 2, in my new journey. I am ready to set in motion the final plans for how I will be getting from Boston to Long Beach. I will know more by the end of the day. It looks like I will NOT be able to hitchhike across the country and guarantee that I will be where I have to be, on time, in order to sign some documents.
In this day and age I am puzzled why many bureaucracies do not have a system in place to use fax and email of PDF files for important documents. I have been running around and hanging out waiting for emails, and using SKYPE and my cell phone all with the intent to make my transition smoother than it need be. The only smooth thing has been the illusion of smoothness, and even that is fraying at the edges.
Well, I posted for the day. Later today I will post again and then the race will be on to get the last of my affairs all in order and to tie up any loose ends. Can I do all this and scan the rest of my photos, documents and other stuff onto my external drive for safe keeping? Do I have time for all I want to do? Most likely not. Now the hard choices will come. I get to be like George W. Bush--I get to be the decider! Fractal that!

note: How long will I be offline after the move? Will I have public access? Plan for a worst case scenario.
