Subject: [Fractint] FOTD 24-09-08 (Not a True FOTD [No Rating])

FOTD -- September 24, 2008 (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

On Tuesday for some reason, FL fell into a state of near panic
over the economy, (probably from watching too much doom-and-
gloom TV), and by the time I got things settled down, it was too
late for a real FOTD.  But I did not want to miss the FOTD, so I
decided to post an image that was intended to be a passing scene
on the route to the real FOTD.  I named it "Not a True FOTD" and
gave it no rating.  How could I rate an image that consists of
merely two grossly mis-shapen minibrots?

Actually the distortion is all the image has to offer.  The main
minibrot is so twisted that its buds are almost impossible to
identify.  The East Valley is obvious enough, but the Seahorse
Valley lies on the upper left side of the main bay, where the
period-2 bud is located.  The really prominent valley sets off
the southern period-3 bud, which is grossly distorted by the
presence of a spurious hole.  The large bud to the right of East
Valley is actually the southern period-4 bud.

All this being said, the image calculates in a blessedly brief
1-1/2 minutes.  And the trip to the FOTD web site at:

       <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

to view the completed image is also blessedly easy.

One-hundred-percent wall-to-wall sunshine prevailed here at
Fractal Central on Tuesday.  When the temperature rose from 50F
10C at sunrise to 72F 22C at 4:15pm, the fractal cats voiced
their approval by calling for their afternoon treat.

My day was kept busy by discussing economics, a topic about
which I have far too little knowledge.  But then, I see by
watching the news that I'm not alone in my ignorance.  At any
rate, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours -- that is unless
the stock market crashes on Wednesday, when the FOTD could be
delayed indefinitely while I try again to ease FL's anxieties. 
Until next time, take care, and if money is metaphysical, then
it is nothing.  Why then do we complain when we have too little
of nothing?
