     I have been retracing for about two months.  "Bowling" is my
first scene and began when I used an agate texture on an early
sphere and it reminded me of a colored bowling ball.  Two months
and several hundred test traces later we have "Bowling."
     This takes about 6 hours at 640 X 480 with anti-aliasing.  As
I am new to retracing, I would appreciate any suggestions on
tightening and/or speeding the code.  This scene is not perfect or
"finished," is any complex scene ever done?  I can't for the life
of me eliminate those semicircles of x-y plane that block the
gutters, nor do I feel the ball return is realistic enough, but I
thought it was good enough to show off.
     The two GIF's are for decoration on the x-y plane.  Circle
Lanes is a real bowling alley in Forest Park, Ill.  I spent a lot
of time there in the sixties on my dad's bowling nights.  I no
longer bowl; I spend too much time retracing.
