[Geysers] GSA article

[Karen Webb]

I'm glad Paul brought this up. I was wondering if this strangeness would 
either impact the thermal features in that general area or if there was 
something that had *caused* the strangeness. We got lucky and caught the 
3-burst that was Grand-induced before we left in August (August 18), and 
I noticed in Barb's reports that a lot of observed eruptions now 
Grand-induced. These had seemed rare previously, and I think every other 
one I've seen happened at the close of a Turban Delay. Market research????

Wow, starting chemo. I hope Jane Washington (gazer from Park City, UT) 
doesn't mind me mentioning, but her boy Andy was diagnosed with 
Hodgkin's Lymphoma recently and did not improve with his first round of 
chemo, so can we keep both our fellow gazers in mind? ("Jane's boy" 
being about 27). Good luck to Jereb, if that's the right thing to wish.
