; FOTD -- February 19, 2009 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is . . . well, it must be something, but I can't 
; think of what to say about it.  It resembles four comets 
; whizzing around a tiny minibrot, so I named it "Comets in 
; Flight".
; 
; The parent fractal combines various negative portions of 
; Z^(-1.111) and Z^(-11.11).  This parent is an oversized thing 
; with a huge 'fan' and many interesting but ultimately disappoint-
; ing areas to check.
; 
; I rated the image at an 8.  I guess I'm just in the mood for 
; swirling comets.
; 
; The calculation time of under 2 minutes is fast enough to keep 
; things moving right along.  But if a traffic jam develops, the 
; calculation may be avoided by going to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and viewing the finished image there.
; 
; Wednesday turned into the most unpleasant day of the winter here 
; at Fractal Central, with an all-day combination of snow, 
; graupel, (tapioca snow), ice pellets, freezing rain, and just 
; plain rain, which by the end of the day left about 1-inch 2cm of 
; slush on the ground.  The fractal cats took one look outside and 
; curled up beside the big radiator.  Being occupied by other 
; things, I did not worry myself too much with the weather.  I'll 
; post the next FOTD in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and if 
; you want nothing to worry about, become a nihilist.
