; FOTD -- March 21, 2013 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; One of the more unusual things I have discovered while exploring 
; the hyperMandelbrot set is the predominance of tentacles.  
; Sometimes these tentacles have definite points of convergence; 
; at other times they simply wander aimlessly or turn back on 
; themselves.  Today's image shows a nest of these tentacles, with 
; the longer ones converging on a point and the shorter ones 
; wandering aimlessly.
; 
; There also appears to be something more solid hidden in the 
; background of the image, but for the time at least, this hidden 
; thing will remain unseen.
; 
; The name of the image is not surprisingly "Tentacles".  The 
; rating of an 8 indicates that I consider the image to be one of 
; the best of the past week or so.
; 
; The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes is slow however, but this 
; problem may be remedied by checking the image on one of the web 
; sites.
; 
; The image has been calculated, and posted at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; A high-definition version is at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The back images are available at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; With a temperature of 34F +1C, biting winds, dark scudding 
; clouds, a few flakes of snow, and a sun that did nothing on the 
; rare occasions when it appeared, today felt like a return to 
; January here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cat complained of 
; too few bursts of sun and decided to exhaust his energy begging 
; for an extra serving of turkey and cheddar.  The humans had an 
; average day, though FL is becoming impatient for gardening 
; weather to arrive.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted soon.  Until 'soon' arrives, take 
; care, and I hear that the FOTD has gone viral!
