; FOTD -- December 17, 2004 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The work is once again falling behind.  This will make it 
; necessary for me to cut today's discussion short.  The fractal 
; is a harmless one created by the MandelbrotMix4 formula, which I 
; have not used for several months.  By setting the outside to 
; 'real' I was able to create the effect of gift-wrap ribbons, 
; inspiring the name "Gift Wrappings".
; 
; The rating of a 6 indicates that I consider the image a little 
; above average.  The calculation time of 4 minutes gives an 
; overall worth of 141.  The image, for all it is worth, may be 
; seen without the need of running a parameter file by downloading 
; it from the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; With a temperature of 46F 8C, Thursday afternoon was mild enough 
; for the cats to enjoy an hour in the yard.  When they decided to 
; come in, they found the tuna waiting.  All in all, it was a 
; pleasant day for the dynamic duo.  Today promises to be even 
; milder, giving hopes of another pleasant day.
; 
; For me the work is starting to pile up again, which will make it 
; necessary to miss a couple FOTD's, so until Monday the 20th, 
; take care, and be happy when things go right.
