Meeting other early risers, sharing data.  :)</div> <div> </div> <div>There's also fun to be had playing around with (i.e. analyzing) a complete data set of eruptions...say a complete set of Turban eruptions.  It is really hard to get a complete extended set of Turban data without using electronics.  There's not that many times you can leave it and I need my sleep.  Playing around with incomplete sets of data is no where near as fun as playing with a complete set of data, so it is important.</div> <div> </div> <div>Now I know, we won't likely be getting remote, real-time telemetry of Turban but I like data, the more the better.  There's nothing quite like a nice set-up spreadsheet just full of data...it's like a little playground.  I may not be the norm, but I'm not alone either.</div> <div> </div> <div>What's really the best is relating what you see in person with what you see in the data.</div> <div> </div> <div>It is all in the eye of the beholder.  </div> <div> </div> <div>Vicki Whitledge</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 16px"> <hr tabindex="-1"> <div style="DIRECTION: ltr" id="divRpF404643"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Tahoma"><b>From:</b> geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu [geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu] on behalf of TSBryan@aol.com [TSBryan@aol.com]<br> <b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, August 25, 2010 10:14 PM<br> <b>To:</b> geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu<br> <b>Subject:</b> Re: EXTERNAL: [Geysers] New OFVEC webcam<br> </font><br> </div> <div></div> <div><font id="role_document" color="#000000" size="2" face="Arial"> <div>Once upon a time there were rather few gazers. They went out into the geyser basin, never sure of what they might find. They need'nt ask a ranger to download data, as there was no such thing. They didn't ask what a Webcam showed, as there was no such thing. They didn't call out on a CB or FRS radio, as there was no such thing. They actually passed along data, verbally, even to rangers who wrote it down and passed it along because they cared.</div> <div> </div> <div>Gosh, they had a lot of fun. Whither the good 'ol days?
