; FOTD -- June 06, 2011 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Sometimes when I'm writing these FOTD discussions I feel like a 
; merchant trying not to sell his goods.  (It's not so unusual.  
; After all, we hear electric power companies all the time telling 
; us to use less of their product.)  But I believe in honesty in 
; fractal talk as well as in advertising, so I admit my fractal 
; shortcomings.
; 
; In today's image I'm playing catch-up fractaling, and the 
; quality appears to have suffered.  I managed to get the quality 
; of today's image up from a rating of a lowly 5 to a rating of an 
; average 7.  It's an improvement over yesterday for sure, but 
; still leaves us well below FOTD top quality.
; 
; But an image is an image, and even though it's late, today we 
; have an image.  The parent fractal came about when I combined 
; 0.001 part of Z^1001 with straight Z before adding straight C on 
; every iteration.  
; 
; This uninspiring combination produces a parent fractal that is 
; little more than a vague circle with a bit of action at its 
; eastern extremity.  Zooming in on this action reveals a tiny 
; distorted Mandeloid and a section of the large circular arc, 
; which in its entirety consists of 1000 lobes.  Today's scene 
; lies toward the rounded tip of the lobe closest to the Mandeloid.
; 
; I named the image "Fishbone" because that's what came to mind as 
; I studied it in search of a name.  (The search was a short one.)
; 
; The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes will pass un-noticed.
; 
; The finished image is available on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; The image is available in high definition at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The classic FOTD web site with fractal images from as far back 
; as April 1997 may be accessed at:
; 
;       <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; The weather has been pretty pleasant for the past few days here 
; at Fractal Central, with lots of sun and near normal tempera-
; tures around 79F 26C.  I have been passing time trying to get 
; the FOTD caught up.  Maybe I should have simply skipped the FOTD 
; for June 5.  At least the fractal cats are sharing the work 
; load, giving morale support when the fractaling gets rough.
; 
; The next FOTD, the one for June 7, will likely be posted in a 
; few hours.  Until then, take care, and be ready for what may 
; come.
