; FOTD -- October 24, 2012 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; There was no FOTD for October 23 because FL and I spent the day 
; searching for a companion for fractal cat Nicholas.  We found a 
; calico cat named Callie, who will be the next fractal cat when 
; she gets her shots and if she gets along with Nico.
; 
; For today's image I returned to the MandNewt series of formulas, 
; number 10 to be exact.  Amidst all the confusion I dredged up 
; today's scene, which despite the off-coloring, still reminds me 
; of a nuclear explosion.  I named the image "Nuclear Newton".
; 
; The most notable feature of the image is the unusually smooth 
; coloring -- smooth, that is, by 256-color GIF standards.  The 
; unexpected smoothness earns the image a rating of an 8.
; 
; The calculation time of 1-2/3 minutes will pass in a flash.  
; With the passes set to 'g' the image will finish even faster, 
; but a few minor bits of detail will be skipped over.
; 
; Relieve nascent boredom by checking the finished image on the 
; official FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; And don't miss the high-definition rendering at:

; 
; The back images are online at>

; 
; Today here at Fractal Central seemed more like a day in May than 
; a day in late October.  The temperature of 75F 24C was mild 
; enough for any outdoor activity, while the cloudless skies and 
; light breezes made things near perfect.
; 
; The fractal cat spent much of the time in the sun and the rest 
; of the time hoping for food.  The humans made it through the day 
; with nothing to report.  The next FOTD will be posted when it is 
; ready.  Until whenever that might be, take care, and protest 
; ambiguity.
