; FOTD -- January 12, 2007 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's fractal shows a little of what happens when a tiny bit 
; of Z^(1.8) is subtracted from an equally tiny bit of Z^(2.2) and 
; straight C is added.  The resulting parent fractal is an over-
; bloated Mandelbrot set with a split personality in the form of 
; two large but separate period-2 buds.  Today's FOTD image is 
; located in the mass of debris that lies between the two compet-
; ing large buds.
; 
; I named the image "X Marks the Spot".  From a distance, it does 
; look something like a letter 'X'.  It is an unusual image in 
; having such well-defined areas of order and chaos.  The decision 
; to rate the image at a 6 came almost without effort.
; 
; The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is about average as 
; fractals go.  The calculation part may be avoided by visiting 
; the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and viewing the finished image there.  But before paying a 
; visit, allow a little time for the image to be posted.
; 
; Thursday started very cold, with a temperature of 18F -8C here 
; at Fractal Central, but a strong afternoon sun raised the 
; temperature to 37F 3C.  The fractal cats were too busy looking 
; for trouble and sleeping to notice the weather.  They did take 
; notice when the time for their evening treats arrived however.
; 
; Mu day was pretty average.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 
; hours.  Until then, take care, and be frugal as you enjoy life.
