COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Splendid has shown no inclination to want to erupt.  On one day in late July I saw the side boiler (a separate vent within the Main Vent of Splendid – trust me on this) boil vigorously for about 10 minutes approximately 50-60 minutes after the previous Daisy.  This used to be a prime time for Splendid itself to get agitated.  But nary a burble from the real main vent.  And the Side Boiler itself has never been considered a positive sign for much of anything.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt;
