; FOTD -- December 12, 2006 (No Rating)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's annoyingly slow fractal came about when I subtracted 
; 0.45 part of Z^(2.1) from 1/2 part of Z^(1.9) and found myself 
; faced with a parent fractal that resembles a Mandelbrot set 
; rotated 180 degrees, with everything doubled.  There are 2 main 
; stems with large midgets, 2 East Valleys, and 2 of almost every-
; thing else.
; 
; The large midgets on the two main stems are particularly interes-
; ting, but they are impossible to describe in words and must be 
; seen to be realized.  Today's image is located on an odd bridge 
; in the southern large midget.
; 
; Since I found today's image with so little effort, I gave it no 
; rating.  The exceptionally long calculation time does not imply 
; an equally long search.  I also declined to name the image, 
; giving it only a catalog entry.  And the render time of 1-1/3 
; hours on my machine will be cut to under 30 minutes on the SOTA 
; fireball units that can handle DOS programs.
; 
; Luckily for those with DOS-deprived units and those with better 
; things to do with over an hour, the finished GIF image was sent 
; ahead to Paul.  The image may be viewed on the FOTD web site at:

;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; A super-spectacular day at Old Fractal Central, with sunny skies 
; and a temperature of 63F 17C, was fully enjoyed by the old 
; fractal cats, who actually did a little romping in a sunny 
; corner of the yard.  The adventure must have given them quite an 
; appetite, for they demanded a second serving of tuna at their 
; evening treat.
; 
; My day here at Old Fractal Central was slow.  By tomorrow eve-
; ning, I'll be back at New Fractal Central with the new fractal 
; cats.  If no FOTD appears, you'll know I had no chance to find a 
; worthy fractal.  Until next FOTD, take care, and believe the 
; best.
