; FOTD -- May 10, 2003 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Still another unusually busy day subtracts from the time devoted 
; to the FOTD.
; 
; Today's image is titled "The Edge".  What is it the edge of?  It 
; is a point on the right edge of the large irregular open area at 
; the center of the parent fractal.  At first glance, this edge 
; appears to have nothing of interest to reveal, but upon 
; magnification it proves to be rich in intricate detail and 
; critical as well.
; 
; Today's image is slow because most of it consists of inside 
; material made visible by the < bof61 > inside fill.  But it is 
; not an evaporated image.  A good part of it is real material 
; rendered with the < tdis > option.
; 
; I could see nothing in the image that would rate higher than a 
; 5, and the relatively slow render time of 36 minutes sealed the 
; image's fate.  It is merely an average image, and average it 
; will remain.
; 
; The task of rendering can be avoided by downloading the 
; completed image from:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or from:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; It rained a good part of the day here at Fractal Central on 
; Thursday.  The wet conditions and cool temperature of 60F 15.5C 
; kept the fractal cats indoors and cranky.  Tuna was needed to 
; restore their spirits.
; 
; Today is starting wet once again, so more bad moods are 
; expected.  As for me, I still have much work to do, so until 
; next time in 24 hours, and next fractal, take care, and have a 
; good day.
