; FOTD -- December 04, 2011 (Rating 8.5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; There was no FOTD for December 3rd because of holiday 
; preparations here at FC.  Today's image is actually the one I 
; originally prepared for yesterday, posted now one day late.
; 
; Colonies of growing bacteria are not the most pleasant things to 
; observe, but when they appear in a fractal, they are great to 
; wonder about.  Today's image takes us to one of these colonies 
; of fractal bacteria.
; 
; The parent fractal is the same ridiculously distorted Mandeloid 
; that held yesterday's image.  Today however we check the arc of 
; debris in the southern lobe of the main bay.  This arc is 
; actually the remains of the original southern shore line of the 
; main bay, which for some reason is starting to dissolve or 
; starting to condense, depending on which way you look at it.
; 
; The name "Bacterial Colonies" tells it like it is.
; 
; The rating of an 8-1/2 reflects the bit of extra work I put into 
; the coloring.
; 
; The calculation time of an estimated 2 minutes is a fair price 
; to pay for a growing colony of fractal bacteria.
; 
; After a morning of heavy frost and a temperature of 25F -4C, 
; hazy sunlight prevailed here at Fractal Central for the rest of 
; the day Saturday.  The high temperature of 45F +7C was a bit too 
; chilly for the fractal cats, who spent most of the day curled up 
; by the heat, while the humans kept busy doing holiday stuff.  
; Today is Sunday, and it is a repeat of Saturday.  The next FOTD 
; will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and if a 
; worldwide monetary collapse were to happen and everyone were to 
; lose everything, where would all the money go?
