It  should be noted that there have been several different ways of measuring  
Giant durations.

The most objective method (I think) is the time  from the first continuous 
water to the last splash thrown out of the  vent.



This method of "last splash thrown out of the vent" is what I've been  trying 
to judge, and it is what caused us to bump yesterday's duration from 85  to 
86 minutes. Not that I think a minute or two really makes any true  difference.

P.S. Regarding today's Beehive, I failed to mention that there were rather  
frequent splashes all morning, and that roughly 10 minutes before today's  
eruption, Beehive had a couple of "Herb Warren" type splashes. So maybe "it's  
back."
