Grotto Fountain started at 1143 (d ~ 16 min). Grotto didn't start untin 1157 and then was extremely weak before quitting after a duration of 14 minutes. In my recollection, though, when this sort of Grotto happened last year, it was "always" (?) the first after a marathon; this was not after a marathon.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Riverside 0842.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Daisy 0858, 1100, and 1301.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oblong 0747ie and 1319.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grand 0550wc and 1336 (T1Q).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Castle had a minor, then the major during the night.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lion: 0913 was the only one I heard about.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Aurum 0714 and 1144.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Beehive 0550wc.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And I heard only one Plume call all day, which means nothing at all.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Fountain 0659ie and 1424ns.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Great Fountain 0944 (P=9, OV~84).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Logbridge 0912 and 0940.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A-0 0851 and 0922.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A sampling of White Domes gave 0912, 0929, and 0951.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Pink Cone 0631 probably ns, giving an interval of roughly 18 1/2 hours.</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. <A title="http://food.aol.com/tyler-florence?video=4&?NCID=aolfod00030000000002" href="http://food.aol.com/tyler-florence?video=4&?NCID=aolfod00030000000002" target="_blank">Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food</A>.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
