; FOTD -- July 31, 2006 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I have seen comments about the graininess of the pictures of the 
; old fractal cats that have been posted on the FOTD web site.  I 
; realize that the pictures are rough.  They are not supposed to 
; be works of art; they are merely to show that the fractal cats I 
; have been writing about for almost 10 years are in fact real.
; 
; Part of the grain problem may be due to the graininess of the 
; cats themselves.  Being fractal in nature, they have a limited 
; resolution that can be overcome only by a digital camera with 
; accurate focusing and graphic computer control.  This I do not 
; yet have.
; 
; The next task will be to post some grainy pictures of the new 
; fractal cats, to show that they are real also.  Then I must 
; purchase a S.O.T.A. digital camera, and take some real pictures 
; of the dynamic quartet.  (I actually am, or was, a pretty good 
; photographer.)
; 
; There is little to be said about today's fractal image, which is 
; a scene very deep in an elephant trunk of East Valley of the 
; Mandelbrot set.  Being well beyond the range of standard math, 
; the image is a very slow one.  It is so slow that I have sent it 
; on ahead to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; from where it may be downloaded in a minute or so.
; 
; Since scenes deep in elephant trunks are fairly common, I have 
; rated the image at a modest 5.  I gave it no name, though with 
; tomorrow's FOTD I will resume naming the images.
; 
; With a high temperature of 88F 31C, the weather was warm here at 
; New Fractal Central today.  But the humidity was not too bad.  
; Compared to the weather back at Old Fractal Central, it was 
; actually quite pleasant.  The new fractal cats passed the day 
; alternating between resting and chasing each other up and down 
; the hallway.  Like the old fractal cats, they appreciate their 
; treat of tuna in the evening, but unlike the old cats, they do 
; not settle to sleep as soon as the tuna is gone.
; 
; The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  It will likely be an 
; improvement over today's image.  Until then, take care, and 
; don't let yourself get too grainy.
