; FOTD -- August 27, 2006 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's FOTD image takes us to the Z^1.95+C Mandeloid as it 
; appears at ground level of the logarithmic ladder.  At this 
; level the parent fractal resembles a chopped-up Mandelbrot set.  
; Today's scene is located in the East Valley area of its parent.
; 
; It's an unusually attractive image for a fractal with an 
; exponent of Z less than 2.  The 'passes=b' option works quite 
; well with today's image, and it is by far the fastest.
; 
; I named the image "Imperfect Perfection" and rated it at a 7.  
; The rating could have been a 7 or an 8.  Being in a conservative 
; mood, I decided on the rating of 7.
; 
; The 6-1/2 minute render time may be avoided by downloading the 
; completed GIF image from the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Heavy clouds and a temperature of 73F 23C kept the sun worship-
; pers indoors here at New Fractal Central on Saturday.  It stayed 
; dry however, making conditions perfect for checking one of the 
; local antique emporiums, which, with a little coaxing from 
; fractal lady, is what I spent the afternoon doing.  The fractal 
; cats spent the day looking for trouble.  Nico worried himself 
; silly trying to get into the basement, but the basement still 
; needs to be cleaned before he will be permitted to explore it.
; 
; The work is still slow, which means there should be no trouble 
; finding and preparing the next FOTD, due to appear in 24 hours.  
; Until then, take care, look for the bright side and be enlight-
; ened.
