Listening to “Bad Company” makes me want to reread “Cross-Check”. Richard Maxwell’s little sister, and all the backstory that comes with her.

Also, if this episode had happened after Daring Deeds, Sinister Schemes, Connie would definitely know better than to listen to a Bible teacher who sounds like Philip Glossman.

The SARS Cov2 positive samples from the COVID 19 pandemic surveillance were subjected to quality control after storage at the biobank of the Pasteur Institute of Côte d’Ivoire. They were evaluated one year after their cryopreservation by a PCR test (polymerase chain reaction) and the threshold values of the cycle were recorded. PCR test results indicated 100% concordance of all nasopharyngeal specimens that tested positive for SARS CoV2. It appears that nasopharyngeal samples packaged in high security straws and stored at -196°C are still viable for detecting SARS-CoV-2 after one year of storage. A reproducibility of the preservation protocol can be carried out to standardize the preservation technique. An annual program for evaluating the conservation of samples can be instituted at the biobank as a form of quality control.

One of the few things I don’t like about “Cross-Check” is how it ruins “An Encounter with Mrs. Hooper.” The episode had a nice, happy ending, and the book decided, nope, she just goes right back to her old ways and makes everything worse and unwittingly helps Blackgaard buy his building.

I mean, it’s an interesting twist, but it ruins the episode for me.

Replacement for my trusted Surly Pacer (http://dvfc.tumblr.com/post/119850124711/finally-some-proper-pictures-of-the-commuter-bike) Wanted something that could accommodate bigger tires and have rack mounts for light touring. Chose a larger size this time for a more comfort oriented position.
