        This is the 82'nd update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
    temperature was 21.7 C during this run. Here I test some more beverages
    from the local Chinatown.
        I used a rather old breeding bottle for this run, which probably had a
    lot of old and diseased flies in it. As a consequence no flies lived
    beyond 65 days, despite the rather low temperature. There was nothing of
    interest in this small run, aside from the fact of poor overall survival.
