; FOTX -- May 14, 2016 (Rating A-9,M-7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; As today's unusually fast image shows, I am getting back into my 
; old routine of finding rather attractive fractal patterns.  I 
; might not yet be in overdrive, but I am running in second gear 
; at least.  And do not expect one of those apocalyptic zooms to a 
; ridiculous magnitude of something like 10^10000.  Such zooms 
; might make one gasp and say 'WOW' but at the end they all tend 
; to look pretty much the same, admit it or not.
; 
; Today's FOTX, (The 'X' means I have not yet decided how often 
; the FOT... will appear.), is a scene at a depth of a very modest 
; 0.1 -- a Julia set of a point on the negative X-axis of the 
; Z^4.01+C Mandeloid.  In this case, the extra 0.01 in the 
; exponent makes all the difference.
; 
; While pondering fractals over the past few months, I have also 
; been pondering the old philosophical warhorse, the nature of 
; reality.  So far I have come to little in the way of an answer.  
; In fact, I'm not even sure what the question is about.  All I'm 
; reasonably sure of is that I (whatever 'I' might be) am having 
; a conscious experience.  Whether the stuff around me commonly 
; called material is real or not, it certainly does appear to be 
; there.  And if it is an illusion, does this mean nothing at all 
; is there, or does it mean I am perceiving what is really there 
; in a way that does not totally correspond to the true reality.
; 
; Be this as it may, the FOTX web site should be up and running 
; again in a few days.
; 
; Today was partly cloudy with a temperature of 68F 20C and a few 
; insignificant showers here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats 
; spent most of their time doing what cats do best -- sleeping.  
; Nicholas chose my favorite chair just after noon and lounged in 
; it all afternoon.  Between showers, FL did a little work in her 
; garden, where the columbines are near their peak.
; 
; Until next time, take care, and if the theory of the Quantum had 
; not been discovered, I might have run out of things to ponder 
; after all this time.
