Ben Hoppe noted:
---------------
The second piece of interesting news was Fountain. It had an eruption
at 1250 this afternoon (per Tara). The Strassers and I were at Great
Fountain at about 1745, waiting for the meter boil. I decided to watch
a movie in my car for awhile. At 1806, I got out of my car, and saw
the steam cloud from Fountain. We were all surprised. I have it
written down as 1806ie, but I think it might be a near start. Even so,
the interval was hardly over 5 hours.
------------------

I just finished the analysis of Fountain thru late morning on 1 August.
There were short intervals on 5 July at 1235 (interval 4h39m); 19 July at
0731 (interval 4h47m); 24 July at 0740 (interval 4h50m); 28 July at 0406
(interval 5h09m) and 31 July at 1807 (interval 5h14m).

For the month of July the statistical summary is:

Minimum:  4h39m
Mean:     5h59m
Median:   6h00m
Maximum:  6h39m
