This area happens to be the location of some rather sensitive equipment. Take a
good luck at the damage (I can't tell from the shot you posted, and it's only one
example). Were the holes punched through from the inside? If so, maybe someone
decided it was easier just to hit the demolition charges on the electronic gear
than to remove the stuff.

either by marriage or by removal of the afflicted from the circumstances
under which he incurred the condition. It is sometimes fatal, but more
often to the physician than to the patient.
