What: "Portland is like Seattle was 20 years ago, and what's not appealing about that! I loved the 90′s and always love returning to a place where my flannels are still in fashion!"

What: " Baltimore is like that candlestick/face optical illusion - if you look at it one way, it's a southern city, and if you look at it another way, it's northern. It's both."

What: "We, of course, know nothing in and of ourselves. We must all be taught. No language develops irrational concepts for any word. To say that that is the meaning of a mere second person pronoun in the genitive or possessive case is like saying that "it is not for you to go to Mexico." That means "in and of yourself it is not for you to go" before tritely adding ". . .but you can take a bus." Regrettably, for Camping's sake, Acts 1:7 means what it is translated to mean: "It is not for you to know.""

What:

"The retina is like a sheet of cellophane attached to the entire back wall of the eye. The tears usually occur in the periphery where the gel may be tugging on it. If a tear occurs, then fluid inside the eye can travel through the tear and track between the retina and the back wall of the eye thereby separating the retina off the back wall of the eye. This is called a retina detachment. Wherever the retina is detached there is no vision. Since this usually occurs first in the periphery it may be experienced as a total loss of vision in the peripheral field of view as if a curtain is being pulled across the vision from the side and it may advance across the center of vision."
