; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; It's a busy Monday here at Fractal Central, so the discussion 
; will be correspondingly short.  In yesterday's discussion, I 
; mentioned an element in the image that reminds me of a scorpion 
; and inspired the name.  Today's image is a close-up of that 
; scorpion, which fills the center of the screen and faces the 
; upper-right corner of the frame.  (Perhaps I should have called 
; it a lobster.)
; 
; The curled-up tail of the scorpion is clearly visible, though a 
; bit of imagination is needed to see the claws.  The background 
; has a theme of square rather than smoothly curving spirals, one 
; of the more unusual types of spiral.
; 
; Since I spent almost no time finding the image, and only a few 
; minutes writing this discussion, I can rate the image no higher 
; than an average 5.
; 
; The 11-minute render time can be cut significantly by download-
; ing the completed GIF file from:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or from:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; A cold, windy Sunday here at Fractal Central produced moody 
; cats who sulked around the house most of the afternoon.  Two 
; treats of tuna were needed to restore their spirits.  I'm 
; beginning to wonder how much tuna is too much.  If we need to 
; continue giving them so many tuna treats, the duo might grow 
; bored with tuna and demand something like lobster.
; 
; Well, I've got that work to finish, so I'd best start moving.  
; Until next FOTD, take care, and keep those iterations coming.
