; FOTD -- February 17, 2003 (Rating 4)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I enjoy shoveling snow, but this is ridiculous.  Once again, due 
; to an immense quantity of snow that must be moved, the 
; discussion will be very brief.
; 
; Today's hastily achieved fractal can rate only a 4, but that is 
; only a little below average.  The parent fractal, whose formula 
; is Z^1.19+C, resembles a double-lobed lake, with an immense 
; filament extending to the SW, far beyond the borders of the 
; default screen, which BTW has a magnitude of 2/3.
; 
; Today's scene is located near the tip of this curved filament.  
; I have no idea how I found the mis-shapen minibrot on this 
; totally chaotic filament.  I guess I have developed a fractal 
; sixth sense, or more accurately a seventh sense, since I already 
; have precognition.  (No, I cannot turn it on at will.)
; 
; The name, "Theme and Variations", was inspired by the melange of 
; incongruous features that make up the image.  Then again, 
; perhaps I should have named the image simply "Variations", since 
; there is no single theme that unifies it.
; 
; The parameter file runs in 8 minutes.  The completed GIF image 
; is available for download on the W.W.Web at:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and at:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; Heavy snow fell all day Sunday here at Fractal Central.  This, 
; plus the temperature of 14F -10C, swept all thoughts of the 
; outdoors from the minds of the fractal duo, who spent the day 
; sleeping where it was warm.  This morning the snow is still 
; falling.  Since the snow on the ground is about three times as 
; deep as the cats are tall, they had best resign themselves to a 
; long confinement.  As for me, I've got a lot of shoveling to do, 
; and there is no time like the present to get started.
; 
; Until tomorrow's FOTD, take care, and, if I get myself dug out 
; of the snow drift, see you then.
