; FOTD -- September 02, 2005 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I'm not in much of a writing mood this morning, so I'll merely 
; explain that today's image is a scene in the parent fractal 
; associated with the third critical point of the expression that 
; was used to create the previous two days' images.  This critical 
; point is -0.4401695778.
; 
; This parent fractal is unlike the previous two associated with 
; the expression, which were shapeless blobs with only hints of 
; Mandel features.  Today's parent is shaped like a near-normal 
; Mandelbrot set, with the addition of large open areas attached 
; to the ends of the filaments.
; 
; As I hinted yesterday, today's image has been named "Still More 
; Storm Clouds".  It is actually the best of the three 'storm' 
; images.  I rendered the scene with the 'outside' parts set to 
; 'tdis', which IMO makes the most of the scene.
; 
; The render time on my ancient machine is a not-too-slow 5-3/4 
; minutes.  This is just a little longer than the time needed to 
; go online and download the already-rendered GIF image from the 
; FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; My mood today is more political than philosophical, so I have 
; counted to 10,000 and will write nothing.  But the real 
; philosophy is still brewing quite strongly, and when the time is 
; right, I will post it with no holds barred.
; 
; Near perfect weather here at Fractal central on Sunday made for 
; near ideal cats.  They went outside at 11am, returned at 3pm for 
; a snack, then went back outside until nightfall.  My day was 
; philosophic but otherwise uneventful.  Today is starting the 
; same as yesterday.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  
; Until then, take care, and it's always darkest before the dawn.
