今日の出来事から 5月24日(火) まずは初日をクリア

 正式に店が開いて、ランチはひまだったものの、ディナーはそこそこのスタート、多くの常連さんが来てくれました。ありがたいことであります。初日からアルコールがあるというのは良い。そして新しく買った生ビールの冷蔵庫が動いていなかったのですが、それも稼働してうれしい。返品するにも箱はもう捨てていたので、古いのを業者に渡して、それと交換してもらおうかと思ったくらいです。まあ、めでたしめでたし。しかしながら、まだまだすることはあります。棚を作らないといけないし、POSが昨日から動いていますが、立ち上げが少しおかしいし、まあ慣れるまで時間がかかりそうです。これまで1台だったPOSは2台になり、効率良く作業ができるはずですが。

 女性の再婚禁止期間を離婚後6カ月間と規定している民法733条を100日に短縮し、離婚時に妊娠していないことなどを証明できれば禁止期間内でも再婚を認めるとする民法改正案が24日、衆院本会議で可決され、参院に送られ今国会で成立する見込みです。愛し合う2人にとっては良いことです。

 もうたたかれるばかり!政治資金の私的流用疑惑が発覚して以来、口先ばかりの“謝罪”舛添要一都知事。5月17日、視察先の福島県庁で記者団にあらためて頭を下げた。そして15歳年下の“都知事夫人”雅美さんは、六本木にある超高級ホテルのフレンチレストランで、5千円近いランチのバフェを食べていたとか。こんなのどうでもよいのですが、まあ取材されていますから何もできなくなりますよ。

 たまにはマーケット、為替は109.63円です。あまり変化なし、一気に105円まで行くかと思えばたまに110円に戻っています。ゴールドは軟調です、1242ドル。1年前を見れば、1050ドル程度でしたからやや上げての安定ですが、一時1300ドルを超える勢いでしたから、これもこのあたりで安定でしょうか? すべてはドル次第かと思います。原油は上げています。どちらも48ドル台で、一時騒がれた30ドル下落はもう消えています。当面は50ドル前後、これから夏場でガソリンの消費が上がることもあり、メトロアトランタのガソリン価格は少し上がってきています。
 株はアジアは弱い、上海2882ポイント、日経16498ポイントです。米国はダウは17500ポイントと戻してきていますが、ナスダックは4300ポイントです。あのアップルはどうなった? 一時90ドル割れと言われましたが、今は少し戻して96ドルです。フェイスブックは116ドルで、高値安定です。

 金持ちはこんなことを言う?預金通帳にたくさんお金が貯まっていることは苦痛」だとか。そのわけは、目的のない貯金だからだそうで。「死に金作り」になるのだそうで、お金を稼いで貯めることが目的になると、どんなに稼いで貯めても幸せになれない。まあ、確かにお金は生き金にして投資して、増やしてやらんといけないという理論でしょう。正解だと思います。培養するというか、増やしてこそお金が生きる!

 若くありたい人、ナイアシンです。若返りのビタミンとして近年注目を集めています。10年以上前から「心の病」を治すビタミンとして紹介されてきましたが、近年の研究で、精神疾患だけでなく、加齢による老化や、傷ついた臓器・筋肉細胞の修復作用など、さまざまな“若返り”効果が明らかになっています。東洋経済に出ています。
 ナイアシンはビタミンB群の一種。ナイアシンはレバーや魚介類、肉類、キノコ類やピーナッツ、大豆などの豆類(ソラマメ、グリーンピース、小豆、黒豆など)にも含まれます。しかし、肉や魚のように、100g単位で食べる物ではないので、組み合わせて摂るようにするのがいいでしょう。

 今、人気の車、在庫がない!!!
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Audi<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> 24.8<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> +262.0%<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $33,700</p><p>New car brands are more likely to spend very little time on dealership lots as they are often more enticing to auto buyers. This, as well as currently high demand for SUVs and crossovers likely contributed to Audi Q3’s extremely low days to turn. The luxury brand’s crossover model was introduced in North America in 2014 and spent less than 25 days on average on the lot in 2015 before being sold.</p>Audi A3
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Scion<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> 24.5<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> N/A<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $17,595</p><p>Most of the cars that spent relatively little time on the lot last year are part of a brand that is in high demand. Toyota’s Scion division, on the other hand, has been underperforming for years. The manufacturer announced in February it will kill the brand, including the iA, which was just introduced in 2015. It is no surprise that the average iA spent relatively little time on the lot before being sold, as the model was not even available for the entirety of the year.</p>Scion IA
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Subaru<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> 24.0<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> +15.6%<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $21,745</p><p>Brand new models and redesigns tend to be appealing to car buyers. While the Legacy brand has been around for more than two decades, Subaru introduced a fully redesigned generation of the mid-sized sedan in 2015. Sales of the Legacy jumped 15.6% compared to 2014, and the average model spent just 24 days on the lot before being sold.</p>Subaru Legacy
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Audi<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> 23.1<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> +0.8%<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $42,900</p><p>While 2015 sales of the Audi TT were up slightly from the previous year, they were down considerably from 2013. Audi sold 2,053 TTs in 2013, nearly double the number of units sold in 2015. Despite the two-year sales decline, the TT does not sit long on dealership lots. Earlier this month, the German auto manufacturer introduced a far more powerful version of the TT for the 2017 model year.</p>Audi TT
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Volvo<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +22.7<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> 223.3%<br><strong>> MSRP:</strong> $45,950</p><p>The newest generation of Volvo’s popular crossover arrived at dealerships in the spring of 2015. After its introduction, the Swedish car maker reported a dramatic spike in sales of the XC90. In 2015, Volvo sold, 12,777 XC90s, more than triple the units sold the previous year. Tremendously popular, the XC90 only sat on the lot for an average of 23 days before being sold.</p>Volvo XC90
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Land Rover<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +22.4<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> 19.9%<br><strong>> MSRP:</strong> $64,950</p><p>In 2016, gas prices across the country hit their lowest point in eight years. With falling prices, SUVs have gained popularity. The Range Rover Sport, an SUV that gets a relatively low combined 19 mpg, is one of the fastest-selling cars in the country, remaining on the lot for an average 22 days in 2015 before being sold. While many of the fastest selling cars are relatively new, the Range Rover Sport was released a decade ago and is still in its first generation.</p>Range Rover Sport
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Porsche<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +21.6<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> 86.9%<br><strong>> MSRP:</strong> $47,500</p><p>Macan made its debut in 2014. That year, Porsche sold 7,241 units. The following year, sales of the crossover SUV nearly doubled and the Macan became Porsche’s fastest-selling vehicle. Macans sat on dealers lots for an average of only 22 days before being sold in 2015. The Macan is a slightly less expensive cousin of the Cayenne, the only other crossover SUV sold by the German automaker.</p>Porsche Macan
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Mercedes-Benz<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +21.5<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> N/A<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $51,100</p><p>One-third of the fastest selling vehicles were introduced in 2015, and the GLE is one of them. Across the country, Mercedes-Benz dealerships kept the luxury SUV on the lot for an average of only 22 days, more time than only a handful of other makes and models. Demand for the GLE coincides with the re-surging popularity of SUVs, due in large part to lower gas prices. The GLE only gets 18 mpg in the city and 24 on the highway.</p>Mercedes GLE
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Toyota<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +20.8<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> 26.2%<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $33,810</p><p>Gas prices hit an eight year low in 2016 following a long-term downward trend beginning in 2014. One consequence of lower fuel prices has been a resurgence in popularity of vehicles with relatively low mpg ratings. SUVs comprise more than a third of the fastest selling vehicles, and the Toyota 4Runner is one of them. Toyota sold 97,034 4Runners in 2015, up more than 26% from the year before.</p>Toyota 4Runner
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Mercedes-Benz<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +20.2<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> N/A<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $28,950/ $32,500</p><p>Mercedes-Benz is known primarily as a luxury brand, but not all of its vehicles are exceedingly expensive. The brand-new Metris, the van the company introduced in 2015, costs relatively little compared to most Mercedes with an MSRP of $28,950 for the cargo version and $32,500 for the passenger van. The Metris only went on sale in October, which partly explains why the models sold in 2015 spent such a low average time on the lot.</p>Mercedes Metris
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> BMW<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +19.3<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> 308.1%<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $140,700</p><p>The BMW i8 is a hybrid sports car with both an electric motor and a fuel engine. Introduced in 2014, BMW sold 555 units of the i8 in the first year. Sales spiked 300% in 2015, when the German automaker sold 2,265 units. On average, i8s spent less than 20 days on the lot before they were sold in 2015. According to Fleming, the i8 is so popular because there is nothing else like it on the market.</p>BMW I8
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Mercedes-Benz<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +18.7<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> N/A<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $129,900</p><p>Brand new models tend to capture the public’s attention and are far more likely to spend relatively little time on the lot before being sold. The GT class, which first became available in April 2015, is a high-end luxury model with a base MSRP of $129,900. That the car was not available the entire year and that so few are sold -- less than 1,300 through the entirety of 2015 -- likely contributed to the model’s low days to turn.</p>Mercedes GT
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Toyota<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +18.2<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> +8.8%<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $29,990</p><p>The Toyota Highlander was one of only five vehicles to sit on the lot for an average of less than 20 days in 2015. More Highlanders were sold in each of the last three years than any other vehicle on this list. Sales of the the Japanese automaker’s crossover SUV were certainly spurred by the brand’s overall popularity. Toyota sells more cars in the United States than any other foreign automaker.</p>Toyota Highlander
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Honda<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +17.7<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> N/A<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $19,215</p><p>The HR-V, honda’s new subcompact crossover SUV, debuted in May 2015. Between the high appeal of newer models, the current demand for SUVs and crossovers, and the fact that the car was not even available for sale the entire year, it is no surprise that only one model spent less time on the lot than the HR-V before being sold last year.</p>Honda HR-V
<p><strong>> Make:</strong> Subaru<br><strong>> Avg. days to turn:</strong> +16.0<br><strong>> 2014-2015 sales change:</strong> 9.7%<br><strong>> Starting MSRP:</strong> $24,995</p><p>Subaru is one of the hottest car brands in the country, breaking its annual U.S. sales record in 2015 for the eighth consecutive year. Sales of the brand’s Outback model, which is second only to the Forrester as the most popular Subaru, increased by 22.7% through the first three months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.</p>Subaru Outback
とまあ、売れ行きの良い車のリストでした。

 GAもついに少し変わるのか?
 不法滞在者に厳しいジョージアですが、合法でも、運転免許証を発行しなかったことで、フルトン郡の最高裁がジョージア州の免許証センターに命令を出したことで、合法者のすべてに免許証が発行されるということになりそうです。

 Atlanta, GA 7-Day Forecast
 暑い1週間になりそうですが、新しい店、新しいエアコン、2階建ての1階なので、暑さを気にしません。これが平屋だったら電気代も高いだろうと推測します。

 昨日も買い物、買い物。そして今日も買い物です。ないものがあります。こうすればよくなると思えば買うしかない。
 この前の保健所の検査で掃除機はカーペットに使えないと言われました。排気口から汚れた空気が出るからだそうです。そんなのレストランを14年もやっていて初めて言われましたよ。手動の掃除機、ローラーのついたもので代用、これも在庫がなかったのでオーダーです。
 今日は棚を3つ付けます、これに200ドル使います。今週5万ドル払い、来週1万ドル少々払えば、工事業者への支払いがすべて終わります。それでわずかの運転資金が残ります。毎日の売り上げ確保は必至です。あとは10万ドルが大家から戻ってくるのを待つだけ、それもすべて友人への借金返済で消えていきますけど。
