I see that it would have been helpful of me to note when Fountain actually erupted on the 20th.  The eruption
was at 0957, d=35.  So, the water in the pool was at a fairly high level for at least 2h30m before Fountain.
I have not noticed any major difference between eruptions that came from a higher pool and eruptions from a
low pool.  The eruptions I saw were 30-35 minutes long.

I also failed to mention that Morning's Theif has been seen during some eruptions and not during others, and
no eruption seen recently has been more than about 8-10 feet (that I heard about, anyway).
