I didn't know this. I've been there pre and post flood. I know there was a lot of stuff that was rumored to be lost and unsalvageable. There might not be anything worth it down there. I haven't even seen a way to get in there in the front or in the stacks / small sideroom.

Is this the surgeon that was running multiple surgeries at the same time?

I made the text bold so it would help.

Why do you think Farina told them to "Take Bigelow"?

If it's mostly aphasia, Fetterman is fine. Hopefully a full recovery will happen, but it's only been 6 months. And I don't think Fetterman hasn't it that bad at the moment (not to say it wasn't worse before)
I went into cardiac arrest and spent a week in a medically induced coma on ECMO not expected to live. Came out of it worried about how I was mentally and it was mostly like I had a bad concussion without the brain slamming against my skull. "pump head" is what my doctors called it.
Anyway, for about 4-5 months I dealt with aphasia. I could write out what I wanted to say and even read it with no problem. Talking on the fly, was easy. Thinking about a question and giving a response was a different story. That was confusing for family to deal with: "But you just.... it doesn't make sense!"
I couldn't simply ask for a "a bottle of water". It was "cup of fluid" or even in Spanish, "necessito agua." And it was always with the simple words. It wasn't like I was struggling with complex words or phrases. Ironically, I probably had less trouble with them.
So maybe for the first year, Fetterman is not giving unprepared speeches, or talking off the cuff in the Senate Chamber.

It was a death trap. People drove just as fast back then on 28 as they do now. And there were no barriers between north and south-bound traffic. Head-on collisions at high speeds were common.

That's what happened to Robinson / Moon. 20 years ago that area was desolate as hell. Then they build the shopping center where Wal-Mart is. I remember working 1 exit down 22 and several times a day they would blast dynamite and the building would shake.
I lived in Oakland and going to Robinson for work was a breeze. It was my secret place to see a movie because despite the distance it was fast to get to.
Now it's a 6-lane death trap with a bunch of drivers who think they're Warboys.

Here's 28 in 2004 just before they started the massive upgrades.

40th, 31st, then a light at 16th was 28. You HAD to drive through the North Side to get on to 279, there was no easy way to get on to 579. (For some reason I'm misremembering if there was a random light between 31st and 16th for businesses or just traffic flow - there was a car garage, a historic church to consider in the construction as well.)
There were a fuckton of accidents in that corridor. You hear about accidents now due to speed, etc. There were major multicar accidents and head on collisions. There were no jersey barriers between North and South directions. At some point they added those flex posts that separate the bike lanes these days. Drivers drove just as fast on 28 in 2004 as they drive today: 80mph.
All of these bypasses below East to West did not exist and it made traffic hell in the North Side.

The recent Nobel Prize winners in physics basically proved that an apple is still red if it's not observed.
This means that bigfoot is real even if he is not observed.

The engineers were probably sleeping.
My biodad was a Conrail engineer in the early 80s and would air out all of his grievances to my mom especially when his coworkers would constantly sleep no matter how long or short the trip was and when it was his turn to rest he would wake to find everyone else asleep.
