; FOTD -- April 01, 2005 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The philofractal version of today's discussion includes an intro-
; duction that has been omitted from the Fractint version.
; 
; For the present moment, we have a fractal to discuss, a fractal 
; sliced in the Elliptic direction through the Julibrot, a fractal 
; that I have named "Forever Plunging".  The image is a scene some-
; where in the area of the Julibrot associated with East Valley of 
; the Mandelbrot set. The rather silly looking double spirals with 
; big swollen noses are there.  These are familiar enough, but the 
; straight edge that plunges beneath the surface is something seen 
; in neither the Mandelbrot nor the Julia fractals.  The vague 
; clouds of streaming gnats on the left side of the image are also 
; things never seen in the usual fractals.  The rating of a five 
; seems appropriate for such an undistinguished fractal.  The 
; render time of over 17 minutes is a bit slow, but can be avoided 
; by downloading the completed image from the FOTD web site at:

;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The skies remained cloudy on Thursday here at Fractal Central, 
; but the rain failed to appear and the temperature reached 57F 
; 14C, which was warm enough for the fractal cats, who spent 
; several hours in the yard, watching for signs of trouble.  The 
; trouble never arrived, and the day ended peacefully.
; 
; This morning is starting partly cloudy and mild, with rain once 
; again forecast for later in the day.  Let's hope it's after the 
; duo has completed their adventure.  My adventure will be in the 
; world of fractals, the next of which will appear in 24 hours.  
; Until then, take care, and stay alive.
