Random Analogies


a: Miami ~
b: living in Cuba

What: "Miami is like living in Cuba. Spanish people EVERYWHERE. Lots of people, lots of things to do but my aunt hated the school system there and from what I've seen it's not that great. My cousin graduated and she didn't even know how to read in English. If you do decide to head that way look at the outskirts of Miami. Headed toward West Palm Beach and Ft. Pierce. I really like Ft. Pierce. Its a quiet town, the schools look good and you are close enough to the hustle and bustle of the big city."

a: Chocolate ~
b: cars

What:

"Mid insists she has no secret recipe. Instead, she says, it's all in the chocolate. "Chocolate is like cars. You have your Volkswagons, your Fords, and your Cadillacs. What I buy is the Mercedes of chocolate." It must be, because Mid started making her candy 32 years ago, using 500 pounds of chocolate and selling her treats at Christmas and Easter from her home."
