Well, not much here. I can hardly remember a day (9 hours today) when I saw  
so little. I see that my notebook contains just nine entries -- and two of 
those  are VC electronic times and another is a radio call about Narcissus. Oh,  
well.
 
I can report that intervals at Mugwump have increased dramatically over the  
past two days. On Sunday, they were consistent at about 13 minutes. Today I  
timed two, 24 and 26 minutes.
 
Doug Holstein reported that at about 1100 he saw Green Spring (at Black  
Sand) down fully 1 foot, but no indication of an eruption. At 1300, I concur --  
the water level was at least 1 foot down but all surroundings and the runoff  
channel were bone dry.
 
As of about 0900, there was no evidence of recovery at Giant. And Grotto  
evidently had a post-Giant marathon.
 
Aside note: the bison are back, and today there was a horrible traffic jam  
in Firehole Canyon. Took me 30 minutes to get through it on the way home.
 
Another aside note: Yesterday's high temperature in West Y was officially  
84. Today, at 1600 the thermometer on my back patio said 45. Yes. While sitting  
at Pink Cone, for a brief minute or two the icy rain did contain white  
things.
