La As Miami Escape
a: Los angeles ~
b: Miami
What: "An oil tycoon from Houston once told me, "Los Angeles is like Miami, it is where people go to escape their past, to hide and become anonymous." In my mind, he spoke of Baja. It was the poor expatriate's hideaway, a quick drive across the border to run from the tax collectors, the wife, the police."

a: Free radical ~
b: obnoxious drunk single guy
What: "free radicals are like an obnoxious drunk single guy at your high school reunion who keeps trying to pick up your wife." (women just reverse the image!) In simple biochemical terms, this single electron (free radical) is trying to find a partner (another electron) and, in the process, creates lots of cellular damage.
