; FOTD -- December 15, 2006 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's formula mixes 0.3 parts of Z^(-11.4) and Z^(2.3).  This 
; formula produces a grossly oversized parent fractal that 
; resembles a mixture of filaments and holes.  Today's image is 
; located in a kind of East Valley of the center-most hole.
; 
; I named the image "Tic-Tac-Toe" because it reminds me of a 
; midget sitting in the center square of a 3x3 grid.  I rated it 
; at a 5 because it really isn't all that great, most of the 
; effect being produced by the coloring.
; 
; The render time of 5-1/2 minutes is quite reasonable, but if 
; 'quite' is not reasonable enough, the already-rendered GIF image 
; may be viewed at once on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Heavy morning fog burned off by noon here at New Fractal 
; Central, leading to a pleasant sunny afternoon with a tempera-
; ture of 59F 15C.  The fractal cats found that the sun coming 
; through the window was warm enough to lie in for a while.  Then 
; they started playing.
; 
; My day was pretty much normal and uneventful, which is the kind 
; of day I can relax and enjoy.  But fractals are everywhere, even 
; on the most boring days.  The next FOTD fractal will appear in 
; 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and I hear it said that a pot 
; of diamonds lies at the end of the next fractal.
