; FOTD -- January 05, 2010 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image shows another low-order minibrot, this one in the 
; parent fractal that results when the formula Z^(1.15)+C is calcu-
; lated 115 levels up the logarithmic hyperladder with the 'floor' 
; function applied.
; 
; The parent fractal of today's image is shaped like an oversized 
; torpedo.  The image is located in an area of chaos near the 
; northwestern shore line of the parent.  The minibrot at the 
; center of the image is shaped more like a snail, which explains 
; the name "At a Snail's Pace".
; 
; All things considered, the image is merely average and rates an 
; average 5.  The image might have rated higher, but we have seen 
; so many similar minibrots surrounded by near-circular herring-
; bone patterns that all the novelty is gone.
; 
; An unusually active, narrow-banded color palette creates most of 
; the feeling that something important is going on.
; 
; The calculation time of 2 minutes is brief enough to allow 
; plenty time for other computerized activities.  Those who cannot 
; spare even the 2 minutes may view the finished image on the FOTD 
; web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Heavy clouds, a temperature of 28F -2C, a brisk north wind and 
; flurries of snow describes the weather here at Fractal Central 
; on Monday.  Warm and cozy describes the state of the fractal 
; cats.  Busier than expected describes my state, while FL seemed 
; rather sulky, probably because I told her on Sunday why my 
; attitude is not totally positive.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
; care, and don't wish too hard for what you want.  You might 
; actually get it.
