Here is another link, Mike. Doesn't have a video but does have some still photos of the new service.

Even when I unblock Ghostery, the video will not load.
FYI, they are dumping a LOT of cookies onto your computer.

The cars look very good. The full-size Murphy bed is a brilliant idea.

Frank in muggy and cloudy SBA -- where we had a tenth of an inch of rain this morning!

Yes, Frank, the Murphy beds are great. Also the shower and small refrigerator for each room. The bullet lounge is impressive.

Had about the same ppt. up here in Santa Rosa. Only enough to slightly wet the ground.
