; FOTD -- September 15, 2003 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; All the talk today in the F.C. area today is about a hurricane 
; that appears headed directly this way.  Nothing has happened 
; yet, but by Thursday it could be a different story.  We'll see 
; how things work out.
; 
; The parent fractal of today's 8-rated image was created by 
; combining one negative portion of Z with one negative portion of 
; Z^4.  It resembles an angel, complete with wings and a halo that 
; is divided into two parts.  Today's image lies in the narrow 
; isthmus that separates the two halves of the halo.
; 
; Much of the image consists of 'inside' material made visible by 
; the 'fmod' inside fill option.  This effect of this inside fill 
; reminds me of those toys which consist of nothing more than a 
; large floppy spring that can do things like walk down stairs.  I 
; named the image "Slinky" accordingly.
; 
; The render time of 24 minutes is a bit slow, but the image is 
; worth it.  The fastest to see the image is to download it in 
; completed form from one of the FOTD web sites at:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and at:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; The weather Sunday was actually quite pleasant here at Fractal 
; Central, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 81F 27C.  
; The cats made up their differences overnight and spent a 
; pleasant afternoon in the yard, enjoying the pleasant condi-
; tions.  It remains to be seen how they can handle a hurricane.
; 
; I've got a bit of work to finish before I can enjoy pleasant 
; conditions, and the way to finish is to start.  So until next 
; time, take care, and don't get caught with your fractals down.
