; FOTD -- May 08, 2003 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Another unusually busy day will demand a truncated discussion.
; 
; A FOTD fractal image without a midget at the center has become a 
; rarity.  To demonstrate that such images still exist, today's 
; FOTD has no Minibrot at its center.
; 
; The scene is located in the 'handle' of the fan-like element of 
; the parent.  The immediate area is non-critical, but filled with 
; interesting detail nonetheless.
; 
; I named the image "The Devil's Fire" when I had a rather 
; apocalyptic impression while studying it.  It's not that I 
; expect the world to end soon, but rather that the image reminds 
; me of certain frames of the 'Bald Mountain' section of Disney's 
; 63-year-old film "Fantasia".
; 
; After not-too-careful consideration, I was able to give the 
; image a rating no higher than a 6.  But the render time of 6 
; minutes is not too terribly long, and the completed image may be 
; downloaded in a fraction of that time from one of the FOTD web 
; sites.
; 
; Paul's site is:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Scott's is:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; The weather Wednesday here at Fractal Central was fair enough, 
; with lots of sun and a temperature of 79F 26C.  A light shower 
; fell in the early evening, but by that time the duo had 
; completed their day's fun in the yard.  Needless to say, their 
; moods were better than average.  Today, it is already raining.  
; I expect the duo's mood will suffer.
; 
; As for me, I've got some work to finish, some grass to trim, a 
; fractal to find, and a bit of high-class philosophizing to do.  
; Until next FOTD, which will appear in 24 hours, plus or minus an 
; insignificant hour or two, take care, and prepare for imminent 
; enlightenment.
