; FOTD -- February 22, 2010 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The FOTD for Feb. 21 is missing because an antiquing expedition 
; arose on Saturday.  The FOTD was a loss, but it was made up for 
; when we found a stack of CD recordings of golden oldies from the 
; 1950's and 60's.  We picked up over 250 songs for $20, and that 
; is a deal that can hardly be bettered.  Included were many of 
; FL's easy-to-find favorites such as 'Duke of Earl' and 'Little 
; Darling' etc.  On one of the disks I even found one of my not-so-
; easy-to-find favorites -- 'Love You So'.  Yes, I know I'm show-
; ing my age, but back then we had something other than 'today's' 
; stuff to listen to.
; 
; Today's fractal is not much -- We spent most of Sunday listening 
; to some of the CD's we found Saturday.  But at least I cranked 
; out a kind of image.  The image shows a much-enlarged part of 
; the Seahorse Valley of the (-Z)^1.5+C Mandeloid peeking through 
; the Julia set of the same area.
; 
; I named the image "The Clutching Claw".  I must have been think-
; ing of a junky horror movie when I came up with the name.  There 
; is a kind of claw-like effect in the image to justify the name 
; however.
; 
; The image promises little and delivers little, but at least it 
; makes the delivery in a very fast 1-1/4 minutes.
; 
; The rating of a 5 was pretty much a guess.  I'm sure I could 
; have done better, but then I might have done worse also.
; 
; The image is worth at least a quick glance, so why not forget 
; running the parameter file and surf out to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; to 'enjoy' the finished image there.
; 
; Total sunshine and a temperature of 48F 9C made Sunday the best 
; day so far this year here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats 
; made the most of things, spending several hours stretched in the 
; sun coming in the southwest window.
; 
; My day was pleasant enough, especially when I saw the grass 
; starting to reappear beneath the snow in the yard.  If all goes 
; well, and even if things don't go quite so well, the next FOTD 
; will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and if 
; someone were to ask me what is wrong with today's 'music', the 
; danger is that I might spend the next week telling them.
