<div dir="ltr"><br> I just took a quick look at the Grotto data that Ralph uploaded. It may be a coincidence, but Grotto seems to have had no real long-mode eruptions between July 6 and August 3, and only one eruption in that period that was substantially longer than the usual short-mode duration. That's a pretty striking change--literally one marathon in the last month--and it overlaps with the period during which Grotto Fountain wasn't observed.<br>
<br> Looking at the year-to-date data, it looks like there's an ongoing major decrease in the frequency of marathons, especially intermediate-length marathons, that started shortly before Giant went dormant.<br><br>
