Dementia

Dementia (taken from Latin, originally meaning "madness", from de- "without" + ment, the root of mens "mind") is a serious loss of cognitive ability in a previously unimpaired person, beyond what might be expected from normal aging. It may be static, the result of a unique global brain injury, or progressive, resulting in long-term decline due to damage or disease in the body. Although dementia is far more common in the geriatric population, it may occur in any stage of adulthood.

I then took to biking the rest of the way to the Ahem welcome center. Bay City Airshp Terminal I stopped off at a cool diner and dance place. All done up in 50's style, but there wasn't anyone there so I just had a cola, checked out the cool stuff including a hot rod and then went on. Josies's Bay City Diner I biked for a time looking at the stores, homes and miscellanies buildings. Also included on this road is some trolley stops, parks and a playground.
