* Library/dead tree: books in the new bookshelves are wanted by someone. if you want books that are in the boxes or on the old bookshelves, move them to the new bookshelves.
** New bookshelves are by Penisland.
** Old bookshelves are metal and by the elevator room

* Rats are still around. What should we do?
* In the basement, there are three huge windows with metal grates. Rats have chewed through the metal.
** We probably have a bionic rat variety

* Rats are running in packs. Run for your lives.
