Cubby--I was upset with myself because I saw your message while I was at the game, but my damn 3G would not work so I could not respond. I did not think you were upset or anything, I just frustrated with myself that I could not get to you. :blowkiss:
O/T (sort of) The following is just my opinion, after thinking and thinking and thinking about this whole thing: If I were to get amnesia tomorrow, who knows what little bits I would remember or where I would say I lived: I lived in three different states as a young child, was adopted at 5, and then lived with a new family in another three states. I have had two mothers, and two fathers, and three siblings from one family and two from the other. I went to college in one state and then lived in another six states either on my own or after I was married; some for short amounts (I lived in the Atlanta area for about 7 mths) and others for long periods. Growing up, I spend part of my summers at my grandparents in upstate NY and the other half on Long Island, NY. If a dialect evaluator had to pinpoint my accent, I guarantee they would have problems. I have lived on both coasts, and in northern and southern US. I have not lived in one place more than 10 yrs, so probably have a hodge podge of accents, in addition to the east and west coast accents of all my parents.
My point is that I am probably not that unusual, and that in a persons lifetime they have many different experiences. I personally know very few people who still live in the same area that they were raised. If BK worked in the hospitality or food industry, he may have moved a fair amount--you go where the jobs are; likewise if he were an engineer or architect. He may have been raised as a military brat and moved many times with his family.
I know we are looking at Powells in IN because of BK's memories. We learned with the Juan Doe case that an amnesia patients memories may be disjointed. BK very well may have memories of Indianapolis and the state fair etc, because he spent summers at his grandparents. Maybe he never lived in IN at all.
I know we are looking for a needle in a haystack, but I do not want us to limit ourselves to certain areas and people and exclude others because they do not fit in the "parameters". Obviously we are limited with eye color, height, etc, but we should not limit ourselves to age, birth date, etc. because we might just miss something.
