I learned my lesson the hard way when she dove into the ivy on Spruce and came out with a screeching rat in her mouth one night about 5 years ago.  Ever since then that ivy moves on its own for me. Know whereof you speak, dude. Did you see that article today in the DP, about the open sewage pit venting into the 1920s dining hall? With a very scary picture, right on the front page, of the sewage collection pit in the basement. Sheesh. And they wonder why they have rat problems. Hell, they're lucky they don't have those baby alligators crawling up out of the sewers, or worse.     Ross Bender http://rossbender.org
