Let's see: a fire and intrusion alarm system, for one thing -- with a collection of paintings (including a 350-year-old Japanese ema) very conservatively valued at US$ 107,000; a photo collection valued at around US $15,000; about 80 or so computers and about 10 servers, not to mention a book collection with an estimated value of around US $10,000,000 I finally convinced the city that spending US$ 10K to protect it might just possibly be a Good Investment.

I'll order some scrim tomorrow, but the stage lights came yesterday. And I told one of the staff she could spend a hundred bucks to fix the top of the fish tank, more if she needed but she'd have to ask me.

US$2,500 to make a closet under the back stairs and to put a window in the back (employees') door.

Just, you know, generally wasting the taxpayers' money.
