Sorry Fox there is a huge cock up with my stock photographs. It is supposed to be Bermuda. You are correct. So I guess open house.

He said if he was correct which he was it is OH.

My immediate thought was the same, but you beat me to the quick response so I thought I'd go look for something more accurate, assuming that's what it is. I'll dig something out shortly, peak meeting day today so I only get short bio breaks.
