; FOTD -- December 25, 2006 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; A jolly good fractal image for a jolly good day.  Today's image 
; is not great, but it does rate a 7, which is notably above aver-
; age.  The formula behind all the fun mixes 0.1 part of Z^(4.4) 
; with 2 parts of Z^(0.4), then adds C to produce a distorted and 
; rotated Mandeloid set with a new bay which may be entered 
; through a split down the middle of East Valley.  Today's scene 
; is located on the shoreline of this new bay, very near the point 
; where it enters into the main cardoid bay.
; 
; The image consists of about half-inside and half-outside fractal 
; areas.  The more festive parts of the image are its inside parts 
; rendered with the inside=fmod option.  Sometimes this under-used 
; option works surprisingly well.
; 
; I named the festive image "Season's Greetings", a generic name 
; that will offend no one.  But the calculation time of 12-1/2 
; minutes may be offensive to the more impatient fractalists or 
; those with DOS-deprived computers.  For these few, the gift of 
; the season is the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; where the completed image is posted for quick and easy viewing.
; 
; The day was quite busy here at Fractal Central, with visitors 
; and presents to tend to.  The weather outside was delightful -- 
; sunny skies and a temperature of 48F 9C.  The fractal cats kept 
; the festive spirit alive when they both climbed into the tree at 
; the same time and tipped it over.  Luckily, no damage was done 
; to tree or cats, and the day ended peacefully.  The next FOTD 
; will appear in 24 hours, give or take a few.  Until then, take 
; care, and say good-bye to Santa Fractal for another year.
