Today, May 11, I was told that the Grotto that started at 13:51 was __extremely short__ -- like 35 minutes total duration, which elicited discussion then and queries to me today. It seems clear that the previous eruption had been rather short, too. This morning, although Grotto was in full eruption at 07:30, Bijou was still rather strong. Meaning, I think, that Grotto's eruption had not been on for very long and, therfore, that yesterday's 18:11/18:16 eruption was again rather short (and that today's marathon was NOT a continuation of last evening's eruption). In other words, yesterday Grotto appears to have been short, very short, short.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With that, however, today's eruption was a marathon, with little doubt -- it had been on for quite some time as of 07:30 and it was still on at 12:30 and, as noted before, it killed Bijou.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now, is this next item good or bad? People have talked about a lack of runoff from South Purple Pool being good for Giant. Indeed, in the past few days there has been little to no such runoff. But today there was a lot.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></st1:time> <DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
