; FOTD -- September 20, 2005 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; For today's image we return to the parent fractal of yesterday's 
; image.  But instead of investigating the Seahorse Valley area, 
; we check the area near what passes for an East Valley.  We 
; travel a short distance inland to find today's scene.
; 
; It is a typical scene in a Mandeloid in the exponent range 
; between 1 and 2.  The very tiny central midget lies at the point 
; where the discontinuities converge.  There is no perfectly 
; arranged and unbroken pattern surrounding the midget, but we are 
; given a hint of what the pattern would look like if it were not 
; so broken up.
; 
; The mathtolerance entry in the parameter file assures that the 
; image will be rendered at the correct magnitude.  The magnitude 
; of 2.6*(10^12) is very near the limit of resolution.
; 
; I put enough effort into the coloring to raise the image to a 
; rating of a 7.  I chose the name "A Pleasant Diversion" when the 
; image reminded me of nothing at all.  The render time of 6-3/4 
; minutes is about average for a quality FOTD fractal.
; 
; There are always the machines that don't like Fractint however, 
; and for the convenience of those with such units, as well as for 
; those who prefer their fractals pre-cooked, the finished image 
; is available for download on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Except for a few clouds, Monday turned out absolutely perfect 
; here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats heartily agreed by 
; spending most of the afternoon hiding in the holly thicket.  
; When the day ended, Thomas came inside without hesitation.  
; Tippy needed to be shown the can of tuna before he decided to 
; come in.  Today is starting much the same, though there is a 
; vague mention of showers for later this afternoon.  But my guess 
; is that the weather experts are wrong and it will remain dry.  
; The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, 
; and win a lottery.
