[Andiy Wagner]

We noted Narcissus today had erupted. Always we miss it. That was after the
great coyote watching in the run off channels near White Dome. Great
Fountain was in full overflow by 10am (and not many people were there) and
was predicted for 12:40 (as of the call dad made to the system at 9:45 -
perhaps was updated?) which was interesting to us. We saw a large steam
cloud from the direction of the Fountain Paint Pots. Was that Morning's
Thief or Fountain? I have never seen the Thief erupt, but your numbers seem
to line up to that.
