; FOTD -- July 30, 2006 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Oh ye of little faith, ye who did not believe in the old fractal 
; cats, ye who need to see with their eyes before they believe, 
; the time has come for enlightenment.  I have taken pictures of 
; the old fractal cats, Thomas and Tippy, and sent them to Paul, 
; who has posted them to the FOTD web site.  The pictures are not 
; the best ever taken, but they are good enough to show that the 
; old fractal cats are real and not mere entertaining fantasies.
; 
; Thomas, the orange, is shown cooling himself on the walkway by 
; the holly patch.  Tippy, the tabby, is seen curled in his porch 
; chair, totally out of this world.  This is about as active as 
; they ever get now that they are over 16 years old.  The new 
; fractal cats, Nicholas the large black shorthair and Cassie the 
; tiny cream chartreuse, have not yet had their pictures taken.  
; This oversight will soon be remedied.
; 
; Today's image is an evaporated one, a scene in the fractal that 
; results when portions of Z^(-0.5) and Z^(-5.5) are combined and 
; (1/C) is added.  The image consists entirely of 'inside' stuff 
; made visible by the 'bof61' fill.  This fill is the only one 
; that works with today's particular image.
; 
; With its unexpected detail, the image is unusual enough to rate 
; a 7.  I did not name it, though I did have several ideas for a 
; name.  The render time of 5-3/4 minutes is fast enough to make 
; the calculation time worth the effort, though those with a keen 
; sense of true value may prefer to download the image from the 
; FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; where it has been posted, along with the very-long-awaited 
; pictures of the old fractal cats.
; 
; Thomas may be found at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/_THOMAS.GIF> 
; 
; Tippy is at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/_TIPPY.GIF>
; 
; The weather here at New Fractal Central in central Pennsylvania 
; has been warm and muggy for a while, with frequent thunder-show-
; ers in the late afternoon.  The same is expected to continue for 
; most of next week.  But still, it's not as hot as it was back at 
; the Old Fractal Central 155 miles south of here in Baltimore.
; 
; For me, things are slowly returning to normal.  The new fractal 
; cats are sitting at the front window, anxious to be let out.  
; But the decision to let them become indoor-outdoor cats has not 
; yet been made, so they will have to be patient.  The next FOTD 
; will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and keep the 
; faith.  There might be more to it than meets the eye.
