Spa was in overflow and looked ready to start erupting.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>this sounds quite a lot like the action we saw a time or two last summer, which I reported at the time as "odd behavior." The main difference is that we did not then have a non-Grotto eruption of Grotto Fountain, but we did have it with numerous "false starts" and a series of short intervals by S Grotto Fountain. Anyway, nifty. Thanks Mike.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
