Fascinating

I've only read TMWMHWFAH, but I'm going to read more of his work. Fascinating indeed.

Strange.
About 3 years ago there was a story of an older lady (70s, IIRC) who got lost at DFW airport. A follow up story about 3 months after her disappearance said that she still had not be found.
I never heard any more after that. Does anyone know whether she was ever found?
IIRC, she was traveling from the NW to Houston and had a lay over or flight change at DFW. She had Alzheimer's. I don't recall whether she was traveling alone or with someone else and got separated. The day she disappeared, I think the reports said she may had been seen walking/wandering south of the terminals area.
I have always wondered whether they ever found her and whether she was alive.

Two thoughts: What if you got lost and nobody was looking for you?
and
Psychogenic Fugue: is that one of Bach's compositions?

"he wandered the streets of Dallas and its environs a lost soul, unable to remember his name, what he did for a living, or where he lived"I did that in college ... a lot. But it was in Cleveland. I think.

An amazing story. . . would seem at least some aspect of memory working here; inasmuch as he ended up at 'building site' of his new home. Incredible. Like you cannot remember where you parked you car in the parking lot; and as soon as you think you cannot remember; you see you are already standing in front of it. . .hmmmm. . .a kind of
parking fugue or. . .
never mind. . .
(Or perhaps; the prayers of his wife and family; friends. . .moved him along safely and towards home.)

From the article: "Bieger's dogs were found running loose within a few hours of his disappearance..."
It was a question I had as well.

"Bieger's dogs were found running loose within a few hours of his disappearance."
Must have been a couple "little rat dogs". A Shepard or Lab would never leave you in a time of trouble...

Thanks for the recommendation of the that book. Here is one that I picked up on Amazon used that was recommended also and it is incredible. It gave me a whole new perspective on how the human mind works.

I suggest "An Anthropologist On Mars".
"A Leg to Stand On" is a personal journey for Sacks, dealing with his own injury, survival and recovery.
Also, you might like books by V. S. Ramachandran, which include "Phantoms in the Brain", cowritten with Oliver Sacks.
