; FOTD -- May 09, 2006 (No Rating)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; How could a fractal image that resembles a row of the front 
; quarters of the East Valley elephants be rated?  It could not.  
; So I gave today's image no rating.
; 
; In fact, I remember an image from about a year ago, much like 
; today's, which passed for the FOTD of that day.  That image was 
; little better than today's, but at least it had a rating.
; 
; Today's parent fractal is the Z^(1.5)+C Mandeloid as it appears 
; 1.5 levels up the ladder.  Today's image is located in the East 
; Valley of its parent.
; 
; Curiously enough, the front-quarters of elephants in today's 
; image are busy guarding a series of buds that are only half 
; there.
; 
; Also curious is the way the inevitable discontinuities are so 
; well hidden.  At first glance, one would almost think the image 
; was calculated with an integral value of Z.
; 
; I chose the passes=b option because it's the most fun to watch 
; in action.  And it is also the fastest, at least with today's 
; image.
; 
; The render time of 1-3/4 minutes is fast enough for even the 
; most impatient fractalist, (if there are such creatures).
; 
; To be sure all is well, the completed GIF image has been posted 
; to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Chilly temperatures, bleak gray skies, and occasional sprinkles 
; of rain here at Old Fractal Central on Monday kept things rather 
; unpleasant for the fractal duo.  At the same time, the 0.02 inch 
; or 1mm of rain did the worried farmers no good at all.  So every-
; one was unhappy.  In my department, moving day is scheduled for 
; two weeks from today.  So things will soon be getting ever more 
; hectic.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours or so, but within 
; a week it will be necessary to stop posting the FOTD until the 
; move is accomplished and the graphic business is up and running 
; again.  I cannot continue making excuses for less-than-medoicre 
; fractals.
; 
; Until tomorrow around this same time, take care, and try 
; not to become non-local.
