; FOTD -- May 12, 2004 (Rating 3)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Long ago, back in my wonder years, when I was just discovering 
; the 'true' nature of the world, I imagined atoms to be like tiny 
; solar systems.  The nucleus was the sun and the electrons were 
; the planets.  But even then I saw a problem.  Since material is 
; made of atoms, what then are the atoms made of?
; 
; Of course, I never found a totally intuitive answer, for there 
; is none, but I soon found that electrons can more accurately be 
; imagined as charge clouds surrounding the nucleus.  The stronger 
; the charge, the more likely that the electron is there.  This 
; raised the question of what then is the 'real' electron, the 
; cloud or the point.  I had discovered wave-particle duality.
; 
; I mention a bit of physics because today's humdrum image reminds 
; me of my mental image of a charge cloud around an atom.  I named 
; it "Charge Cloud".  The rating of a lowly 3 seems justified, 
; since I can find nothing of notable interest in the image.  The 
; one good feature is the render time, which is a speedy three 
; minutes, and raises the overall value to 96.
; 
; The minor task of running the parameter file can be eliminated 
; by downloading the completed GIF file of the image from:

; 
; Midsummer weather on Tuesday, with a temperature of 90F 32C, 
; brought out the midsummer behavior of the fractal cats.  We let 
; them out into the yard early, but it was already too warm for 
; cat comfort, and they soon found a cool spot in the shade of the 
; holly trees, where they spent the day sleeping.  No evening 
; treat was needed.  Today is starting the same.
; 
; For me, the work is backing up again, so I had best get busy.  
; Until next FOTD, take care, and be at ease.
