; FOTD -- May 08, 2013 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image with its lightning-like filaments reflects the 
; weather today here at Fractal Central.  The formula causing all 
; the bad weather on the screen takes 1.5 parts of Z^(-1.1) and 
; combines it with 0.3 part of Z^(-7.4) before adding (1/C) on 
; each iteration.
; 
; The resulting parent fractal is a hugely oversized thing 
; resembling an upside-down figure eight, with today's scene lying 
; on the filament extending east from the east branch of the 
; valley separating the two large lobes of the parent.
; 
; The name "Sinuous Discharge" refers to the image's sinuous outer 
; curves as well as the electrical effect of the brilliant inner 
; curves.  The rating of an 8 is getting to be a habit, a habit 
; that I hope continues.
; 
; The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes is appropriate for the 
; image, neither too fast nor too slow.  But a chore remains -- 
; the chore of setting up this e-mail as a parameter file and 
; running it.  Thankfully, this is when the web sites are there 
; for the rescue.
; 
; Check the finished image at:

; 
; The weather took a turn for the worse here at Fractal Central 
; today, as a series of severe thunder-storms moved in during the 
; morning and dropped 3.15 inches, 8cm, of rain by noon.  During 
; the storm an apartment building was struck by lightning and set 
; afire.  The temperature hung around 61F 16C most all day.  
; Luckily, the fractal sump pump did its job and we had nothing 
; worse than a couple puddles on the basement floor.  The fractal 
; cat, who doesn't like thunder, became uneasy until the noise 
; stopped.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in a reasonable time.  Until reason 
; prevails, take care, and presidential assassins are buried in 
; the U.S. with no fuss; the Oklahoma City bomber, who killed well 
; over one-hundred, was buried in the U.S. with no fuss; the 
; Newtown school shooter, who killed 20 children was buried in the 
; U.S. without a fuss.  Why then is there so much silly fuss 
; finding a place to bury the Boston bomber, who killed only four 
; people?  If we claim it is because he used a weapon of 'mass 
; destruction', then shouldn't the automatic gun used by the 
; Newtown shooter and the bomb used by the Oklahoma City bomber 
; also be considered weapons of mass destruction?
; 
; IMO, everyone, even those we consider the most evil, deserves a 
; proper burial!  God will deal with the evil-doer.
