[Geysers] Giant duration measurements

[Paul Strasser]

The 70-ish minute eruptions are not anomalies. The first few I saw had
durations in the mid-60s. The distinction in duration between Mastiff and
non-Mastiff eruptions is quite interesting.  I'd never noticed it before.

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."
