Random Analogies
Currency markets
a: Currency market ~
b: a thermometer
What: The link is a somewhat dated article about the South Africa Currency. The writer makes the comparison between the value of a currency and the state of a country's economic health. The currency can then become a thermometer measuring the health of that economy. The general reasoning in the article applies to all countries now and then.

New Orleans=gumbo
a: New orleans ~
b: gumbo
What: "New Orleans is like a wonderful Gumbo, it's a mix of old/new, religion/spirituality, spicy/sweet, rich/poor, cultured/trashy - it's all tangled up and cooked just right! If you live there, your roots are there and that's all you need to know! It's something about the place that's in your nostrils, and your blood!"

a: marine ecosystem ~
b: a single organism
What:
"In some ways, the marine ecosystem is like a single organism, where the sum of photosynthesis and respiration among countless forms of life adds up to a three-dimensional global metabolism. The fact that ocean circulation is always moving stuff around makes it difficult to study these processes - unlike studying trees in a forest, one can't return to look at the same organisms day after day."
