There was a notice on the bulletin board to report such things, hope they have a free tailoring service for a change. We havent been issued our sheets and pillow cases yet, maybe it was just a rumor. I've gone so long without anything like that I dont mind tho down here in this heat the wool seems to be scratchier than usual. Think we will have another party the
