Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is a scene in the parent fractal that results when 1/10 part of Z^(-15.5) is subtracted from Z^(-1.6).  With time growing short and much yet to be done, I have no time to describe the fractal.  The best way to appreciate it is to run the included parameter file.

The weather was a bit too cloudy, too chilly and too breezy for outdoor cat comfort here at Old Fractal Central on Friday.  The fractal cats spent the day investigating the cartons that are stacked and waiting for the movers to arrive, if all goes as planned, on Monday.

If all goes as planned, I will post another fractal in 24 hours.  Then there is likely to be a week or so break.  But despair not, within a week or two, things will rapidly be returning to normal . . . if all goes as planned, that is.
