I also tend to take "is like" with great seriousness. A few
   words may have the intent of a quick comparison, but the impact
   can be profound when applied accurately. I know I don't have the
   capabilities of Michel Godrey yet I'm ok with that. To think
   that someone sees even a piece of me in him and him in me is an
   excellent validation for what sometimes feels like a
   time-waster. He didn't waste his time making those films. I
   didn't waste my time making mine.

   Of course I'm reading too much into it. That's what I do I love
   analogies.

   18 months ago, I found a marvelous chart showing analogous
   functions between hydraulic, electrical, oh I'll just show it. I
   knew the differences, but never saw all analogous variables in
   one place like this.

   Well, I've seen it before, but didn't really GET how significant
   it is until that moment. It launched months of further research
   in my spare time.

   Like analogies, there are always differences of course - some
   significant. I'm not Michel Godrey. Mass is not a Pipe. Yet
   somewhat is. Anyway, I overstate what I say a lot but
   brain-dumps are very satisfying. Nothing is left unsaid that I
   could say at that moment and transmitting "feels" can sometimes
   take but a few words and sometimes many. I like leaving little
   to misunderstanding (Misunderstanding is a powerful force in the
   Universe - it should be on this chart. Crosstalk of electrical
   circuits where there is improper shielding?) - so I choose the
   "more words".
