In 2003 I recorded intervals of around 1 hour and the eruptions were mostly very weak. This year, all the intervals I timed were back down to around 20-25 minutes and most also were their "usual" strong stuff of old. But I did see a couple of really weak eruptions, so called, that did little more than gently boil.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV>who is experimenting with <A href="mailto:TSBryan@peoplepc.com">TSBryan@peoplepc.com</A>.
