Along the Main Line is nice but pricey. We lived in Bryn Mawr, though there are plenty of places along the main line where you could live and living as far out as Wayne wouldn't be undoable if you planned on commuting by SEPTA). My BATT's family lived in Bala Cynwyd for a bit (which I think is where Billytea lived), Mount Airy (which I loved) and Fairmount. All of those are suburbany.
Wash: I'm not leaving her side, Mal. Don't ask me again. Mal: I wasn't asking. I was telling.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is this true? That's so... whoa.
Very true. A famous case, and well known around the Bay Area which is crawling with Gettys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, all this head trauma stuff is freaking me out and I need to be elsewhere.
Which surprises me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh yeah? Well, wehave a Getty CENTER. *TWO* even.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Sorry, ita.
David, the stuff you're quoting is the stuff that demarcates vegetables from the rest of us. The Times has been doing a series on the brain-innjured in Iraq (from Iraq, in the US now), and it's really startling the injuries people survive these days, ending up in non-vegetable format.
maybe unable to read; maybe halting in memory or easily confused or a hudnred other possible outcomes, but -- when you've seen a guy walking despite a fist-size section of his gray matter missing, you've got to be impressed at the brain's recovery abilities.
