Dear Mark: Due to the various methodologies this list would provide and the slick feline nature of the application, I'd vote for 'mewcaucus'. Jack
what would be the name of this new process?
Snailotype? Slimotype? Escargotype?

Yet another slug tale, which is sort of interesting and sort of
related to
photography, light writing, etc.
The Jews have special prayer shawl called a Tallit, used even prior
to Biblical time.
It often has a lovely blue color . . . sort of like a cyanotype
color, associated with many of them.
The very old ones, were a different blue and that color blue was lost
for centuries. I read a
Scientific American article years back and contemporary scientists
had found the source of
this blue historically. It is a sea snail in the Mediterranean and
though there are many types
this one was found in a certain area as I remember. The lovely aspect
of it is the mucus it
secretes turns a sort of purplish blue, like jeans, if put out into
the sun. It is the sun that makes
the blue appear.
Perhaps we could use that source for some interesting spiritual
photographs.
