; FOTD -- May 07, 2003 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I'm quite rushed today, so this one will have to be short.
; 
; With today's image we enter the ring territory of the parent 
; fractal for May, thus the name "Enter the Rings".  Today's scene 
; is located in a tiny cut-off area of chaos in the interior of 
; the ring that lies at the tip of the filament extending from the 
; second-largest fragmentary bud at the top of the fan-like 
; element of the parent.  (It's kind of hard to write descriptions 
; of fractals.  They are pictures, and a single picture is worth a 
; thousand words.)
; 
; I like today's image enough to rate it at an exceptional 8.  But 
; even this rating leaves considerable room for improvement.  Will 
; we find a fractal with a rating of 9, or maybe even a 10, before 
; the month ends?  Only time will tell.
; 
; And speaking of time, today's image uses 5-1/2 minutes of it 
; when it renders from the attached parameter file.  Less time is 
; expended when the finished image is downloaded from:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or from:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; It did not rain here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, but neither 
; did the sun shine, and the temperature did not rise above 62F 
; 17C.  The dynamic fractal cats took most of the inconvenience in 
; stride however, needing only a small treat of sliced turkey to 
; maintain their good spirits.
; 
; Today is starting sunny, but showers are forecast for later.  
; Who knows what kind of day the duo will have.  My day will be 
; busy, regardless.  Until the next FOTD appears in 24 hours, take 
; care, and strike while the fractal is hot.
