; FOTD -- December 13, 2006 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image came about when I took a look at the fractal that 
; results when Z^2 and Z^5 are combined and C is added.  This 
; parent fractal is a shapeless thing with one large valley and 
; one obvious Mandelbrot bud.  Today's image is located on the 
; southern shoreline of the largest valley.
; 
; Feeling a bit liberal, I gave the image a rating of a 5.  A 4 
; would seem more appropriate.  But I really over-extended myself 
; when I named the image "Something New".  True, almost every 
; fractal is one that has never been seen before, and fractals in 
; today's style are by no means common, but I feel that the image 
; offers nothing really new, and that the name is a bit misleading.  
; 
; Some might complain about a lack of creativity in today's image, 
; but no one can complain about the lightning-fast calculation 
; time of only 49 seconds.  Those ready to go on the internet to 
; see the image may view it by visiting the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; where it is posted fot all the world to see.
; 
; Today was a day of transition.  We said good-bye to the old 
; fractal cats at 1pm and hello to the new fractal cats at 5pm.  
; The old guys were sorry to see us leave; the new guys were glad 
; to see us return.
; 
; Somehow I managed to squeeze in a barely adequate fractal.  With 
; things now back to normal, the next FOTD will appear in 24 
; hours.  And I would not be surprised if it were to rate higher 
; than today's 5.
