; FOTD -- May 19, 2003 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; To my eyes, today's vision from the parent fractal appears to be 
; whirling in a clockwise direction, so I named it "Whirling 
; Dervishly".  This name has no connection to the remote religious 
; sect whose members work themselves into a religious ecstasy by a 
; spinning dance.  It is simply a spontaneous verbalization of my 
; initial impression of the whirling spiral image.
; 
; The scene is located in the May-parent, deep in the handle of 
; the fan, on the fan side of the point where the handle is 
; pinched off.  This area holds numerous areas that are trying to 
; shape themselves into Mandeloid features, though not all of them 
; are making it.  Today's scene, with its tiny midget, lies far 
; out on a filament that leads from a proto-Mandeloid bud into a 
; spiral basin.
; 
; As for rating, today's image is a come-down from yesterday's, 
; but it still rates a little above average 6, whatever average 
; means.  The render time of 19 minutes is trying.  As always, the 
; wait can be cut to a minute or so by downloading the finished 
; product from Paul's web site at:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or from Scott's site at:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; Rain Sunday morning here at Fractal Central left the grass too 
; wet for the tender paws of the dynamic duo.  A temperature of 
; 55F 13C made it too chilly for the rest of their bodies.  After 
; a brief afternoon check of outdoor conditions, they passed the 
; rest of the day sleeping on the couch.  A treat of tuna in the 
; evening brought only a bit of consolation to the otherwise 
; disconsolate duo.
; 
; Today is starting sunny, and after a very chilly start, promises 
; to be warmer.  For the fractal cats this is good news; for me it 
; makes little difference.  I will be quite busy most of the day.  
; Until next FOTD in 24 hours, take care, and seek fractal 
; salvation.
