Huh? Are you sure the hotel sign was wrong? I would have interpreted it as meaning that there aren't any rooms available where it is OK to smoke!

By the way Happy Valentine's Day! How does the Claremont Trio celebrate Valentine's Day besides playing a concert?

An interesting observation. No doubt another discovery brought to your trio from the great folks of South Dakota.

Happy Valentine's Day to the three of you. I really enjoyed your concert last night in Mitchell. All of you play with such passion and that really makes the music come alive. Again Thanks for the awsome night of music and the Autographed CD.
