Lab gets unexpected visitor – A truck!!!

January 18, 2018 by gasword

Accident

It’s not everyday that a truck crashes into your lab, but that’s exactly what happened.  Cesar was in the room at the time. Apart from getting covered in a pile of bricks, we are happy to report that he survived the experience with only a few bumps and bruises. Once the side of the building is rebuilt, we are going to name it the “Cesar Valencia almost Memorial Wall”.
