; FOTD -- September 12, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image returns us once again to the Julibrot of the past 
; several days.  Today we check the Mandeloid created when Z is 
; initialized to the third critical value, which is -0.975...  
; This Mandeloid shows the greatest degree of difference from the 
; non-critical one that results when initial Z equals zero.
; 
; Yesterday's image rather resembled a minibrot totally isolated 
; from its 'outside' surroundings.  The image was a sham, since 
; the disconnection was achieved by the coloring.  Today's image 
; is the real thing however.  It was found inside a strange mini 
; Mandeloid just inland of the northwest shore line of the parent 
; fractal.  This mini Mandeloid has a bit of disconnected debris 
; in its center, with today's scene lying in this debris.
; 
; The result is a minibrot totally cut off from the rest of the 
; fractal by a ring of 'inside' stuff.  The minibrot is actually 
; doubly disconnected.  And yes, the open hole that contains the 
; minibrot and its 'star' is symmetrical, as is true of almost all 
; features surrounding minibrots.
; 
; Since the minibrot's immediate 'outside' surroundings are shaped 
; like a star, I named the image "Floating Star".  The heavily 
; blue cast I gave to the image emphasizes the stellar appearance.
; 
; The ratings could have been a point higher if the theme were not 
; becoming so shopworn.
; 
; The calculation time of 7-1/4 minutes might be a bit much to ask 
; to see the image.  Visiting the web sites is a better deal.
; 
; The finished image is posted at:

; 
; Today was partly cloudy and very humid until mid-afternoon, with 
; a temperature of 84F 29C.  But then a heavy thunder shower 
; suddenly arose and dropped the temperature to 72F 22C.  The 
; crackling lightning striking within 100 meters or so sent the 
; fractal cat scurrying for cover again.  He came out as soon as 
; the all-clear was sounded.  Other than the excitement of 
; watching the big storm, the fractal humans had an uneventful day.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted when the same particle entity can 
; be in two different places at the same time.  Since this is 
; already the case, the FOTD will be posted in the near future.  
; Until bilocation occurs, take care, and real magic might be 
; irrational, but according to quantum science, it does exist.
