; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; When I saw today's image, I saw such a clear image of the 
; outline of a dog's head facing right that I had no choice but 
; to name the the picture "Fido", the most generic of all dog's 
; names.
; 
; The midget that forms the head is actually the largest midget 
; on the largest filament of the fractal that results when the 
; formula Z^(1.5596104695)+C is iterated 1234 levels up the 
; logarithmic spiral.
; 
; No one has ever seen this spiral, which is even more abstract 
; than the fractals that lie along it.  I assume that it is 
; five-dimensional, at least in the case of formulas like today's. 
; But being no math expert, I am only guessing.
; 
; With so little in the image other than the shadow of a dog's 
; head, I could rate it no higher than a 5.  But the lightning-
; fast render time of only one minute makes the work of running 
; the parameter file worth the effort.
; 
; For those who prefer to download the finished image, the 
; download is available at:
;

; 
; and:

; 
; The snow-covered ground and temperature of 27F -3C kept the 
; dynamic cats indoors all day Tuesday.  A snow squall in the 
; evening dropped an additional few centimeters that assures they 
; will be in jail again today.  Hopefully, the tuna will keep them 
; satisfied.
; 
; I'll be satisfied when the modestly huge amount of work now 
; before me is behind me.  So until tomorrow, take care, and put 
; your faith in things that are real -- that is after you have 
; determined what is real.  (clue -- it might not be what it seems)
