; FOTD -- April 25, 2006 (No Rating)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is a scene in the Z^(2.1)+C Mandeloid as it 
; appears 24 levels up the ladder, where it resembles a Mandelbrot 
; set rotated 180 degrees.  What is normally the eastern side of 
; the main bay now lies on the west end of the almost-M-set.  A 
; close examination reveals that East Valley, which is now a west 
; valley, has developed a few spurious wannabe valleys, making the 
; true East Valley rather hard to determine.
; 
; Today's scene is located in one of these valleys.  It might be 
; East Valley; it might not be.  Regardless, the distorted midget 
; with its puffy yellow surroundings makes a rather striking pic-
; ture.  If I had given the image a rating, it would have earned 
; about a 7.
; 
; The render time of 3-3/4 minutes may be conveniently avoided by 
; going to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and downloading the already-rendered GIF image from there.
; 
; A very noisy thunder-storm Sunday evening sent the fractal cats 
; scurrying for cover in the back corner of the closet.  A near 
; perfect day Monday brought them out to enjoy the world.  In my 
; department, the work is temporarily caught up.  I do not expect 
; the catch-up to continue for long however.  The next FOTD will 
; likely appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and one of 
; these days I think I'll write a letter to God.  (I don't expect 
; an answer.)
