; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; With all the breaking news, things are hectic here at F.C. this 
; morning, so today's discussion will be short.
; 
; To produce today's fractal, I went back to the fractal of two 
; days ago and again raised the value of the exponents of Z, this 
; time to -1.32 and -13.2, and at the same time, reduced the 
; portions by 40 percent.  This small change made a large change 
; in the appearance of the parent fractal.
; 
; Today's parent fractal consists of a single large, multi-lobed 
; Mandeloid, with a large but partial ring originating in a valley 
; at the north end and stretching out east, down and around to the 
; southern part of the parent.  Today's scene is located at the 
; end of the main stem of a larger midget located near the point 
; where the ring emerges from the northern valley.
; 
; I named the scene "Starring a Midget" after the vague star-like 
; yellowish area around the midget.  I gave the image no rating.  
; Due to the hectic news developments, I had no chance to study 
; the image in a detached manner.
; 
; The parameter file requires 14 minutes to run.  Those who do not 
; wish to enjoy watching the image develop one line at a time, may 
; download the completed GIF image from:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or from:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; The Wednesday weather here at Fractal Central was quite 
; pleasant.  The temperature of 61F 16C was spoiled only by a few 
; too many clouds in the afternoon.  But the cats enjoyed the day 
; nevertheless.
; 
; It's a very active morning here at F.C., and I have the usual 
; amount of work to do, so I'd best get started on the task.  
; Until tomorrow, take care, and when the going gets tough, the 
; tough use common sense.
