今日の出来事から 5月18日(水) 焦点は金曜日午前10時

 焦点は金曜日午前10時、それはこの日のこの時刻に保健所の検査があるからです。一発勝負です。昨日、消防は事前の検査に来て指摘をしてくれましたから、合格するのです。ビルの検査も事前検査がありました。保健所は事前をお願いしたが、多忙につき来てくれなかったのです。
 古い冷蔵庫などを持ち込み、掃除はしたものの、それで「ダメ」だと言われると問題です。他にも、見落としがあるもので、それを確認しておきたかったのですがー。

 今日は消防検査のための、消火器の設置場所に置く標識を買いに行きます。クラスKと呼ばれる油専用の消火器の標識です。アトランタ市の時は何も言われなかったのですが、サンディスプリングス市では言われる。よくあることです。
 棚も少ないので、HOME DEPOTへ行って棚を買ってきましたし、まだまだ整理整頓ができていません。まあそんなものです。店を開けてみて、たくさんの不都合が生まれ、それをまた修正していくのです。ただ今は検査優先で、変なことはできません。検査に通れば、まあ「何をしてもいい」、そんな感じですよ。

  中国人観光客による高級品の「爆買い」が勢いを失っています。4月の購入額は前年同月比で約2割減。中国当局が海外購入品の持ち込み抑制に乗り出したのが原因で、中国人による購入は世界の高級品販売の3分の1程度を占めていますが、同じハンドバッグでもパリで買えば北京の半額で済むため、大半は海外での購入。それを中国政府は4月に、海外購入品に対する関税を大幅に引き上げ、高級腕時計への関税は2倍の60%に、バッグと衣料品は従来の20%から30%に、それぞれ引き上げられたのです。これは日本だけでなくロンドンやパリでも同様の出来事です。

 総務省が発表した15年の家計調査報告によると、2人以上の世帯の平均貯蓄残高は前年比0.4%増の1805万円となり、過去最高を更新。増加は3年連続。ただし全体の3分の2以上の世帯で平均を下回ったほか、貯蓄が「100万円以下」の世帯も11.1%に上っています。
 貯蓄は預貯金、生命保険、有価証券などの合計で、現金は含まれない。平均貯蓄残高の中央値(国民を貯蓄額順に並べたとき、ちょうど真ん中に当たる人の額)は1054万円で、平均値とは751万円の差。また、2人以上の全世帯のうち勤労者世帯(全体の51.2%)では、平均値が1309万円、中央値が761万円となっています。要するに富裕層が金額を上げているようです。

 バケーション間近? アメリカのモニュメント、これだけは見ておきたい!
<p>The site of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech, the <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g28970-d103438-Reviews-Lincoln_Memorial_Reflecting_Pool-Washington_DC_District_of_Columbia.html">Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool</a> in Washington DC has served as the backdrop for a wide range of historically and culturally significant events. The pool holds nearly 7 million gallons of water and was redesigned in 2012 to be more environmentally friendly. "No visit to DC is complete without a visit to the Lincoln Memorial.

<p>Spanning 4,200 feet across the Golden Gate strait, the <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d104675-Reviews-Golden_Gate_Bridge-San_Francisco_California.html">Golden Gate Bridge</a> is synonymous with San Francisco. Despite its name, the color of the bridge is actually "international orange," which was chosen to improve visibility in the city's foggy conditions. "Best viewed from Marin County, this is the ultimate icon of San Francisco. Take a few hours to hike around the hills and the WWII fortifications," advised one TripAdvisor reviewer.</p><p><strong>Average Summer bookable rates in San Francisco:</strong> June: $287, July: $285, August: $298</p><p><strong>Reason to book now:</strong> Outside Lands Music Festival in Golden Gate Park - Aug. 5-8, 2016</p><p><strong>Top-rated tour:</strong> <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductDetail?product=3306ROCK&d=104675&aidSuffix=tvrm&partner=Viator">San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge Bike Tour</a> - tickets start at $55 per person</p>金門橋

While the island is known for its eponymous prison, Alcatraz is also home to lush gardens and a variety of birds and small animals. Commented one TripAdvisor reviewer, "Alcatraz is an amazing National Park that everyone should visit at least once. You don't realize how big the island is until you arrive on the boat. The audio tour is very informative and you can wander around all day if you'd like."</p><p><strong>Average Summer bookable rates in San Francisco:</strong> June: $287, July: $285, August: $298</p><p><strong>Reason to book now:</strong> Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon starts at Alcatraz Island - June 12, 2016</p><p><strong>Top-rated tour:</strong> Viator VIP: <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductDetail?product=2242VIPALCATRAZ&d=102523&aidSuffix=xsell&partner=Viator">Early Access to Alcatraz and Exclusive Cable Car Sightseeing Tour</a> - tickets start at $190 per person</p>アルカトラズ
<p>The <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60982-d104386-Reviews-USS_Arizona_Memorial-Honolulu_Oahu_Hawaii.html">USS Arizona Memorial</a> in Honolulu, Hawaii, pays a somber tribute to the more than 2,000 American lives lost during the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. The memorial, which was built in 1962, is only reachable by boat and is located above, but not on, the sunken Battleship USS Arizona. "An absolute must do while in Honolulu.

<p>With more than 750,000 visitors passing through its cavernous halls each day, <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d103371-Reviews-Grand_Central_Terminal-New_York_City_New_York.html">Grand Central Terminal</a> in NYC is one of the busiest in the world. The "Whispering Gallery" is one of the terminal's most interesting features - thanks to the building's unique architecture, two people standing on opposite sides of an area outside of the Grand Central Oyster Bar can hear each other loud and clear by speaking into a specific archway. A TripAdvisor reviewer shared, "So much more than just a train terminal. The architectural structure is breathtaking - so much history and beauty. Enjoy the shops and eateries.

<p>Gifted to the US from France in 1886, the <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60763-d103887-Reviews-Statue_of_Liberty-New_York_City_New_York.html">Statue of Liberty</a> in NYC has long stood as a welcoming beacon for new arrivals to the country. Lady Liberty owes her distinct green color to oxidation, which took place when the statue's outer layer of copper reacted with the surrounding air and water. "This was a highlight of our trip . . . so much history, and an engineering marvel. Make sure to include a trip up to the crown if you really want the full experience," advised one TripAdvisor reviewer.</p><p><strong>Average Summer bookable rates in the Financial District:</strong> June: $331, July: $297, August: $299</p><p><strong>Reason to book now:</strong> River to River Festival in Lower Manhattan - June 12-26, 2016</p><p><strong>Top-rated tour:</strong> <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductDetail?product=5250LIBERTYELLIS&d=103887&aidSuffix=xsell&partner=Viator">Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Guided Tour</a> - tickets start at $59 per person</p>自由の女神

The tower has been featured in more than 200 movies and TV shows and has an exclusive observation deck reserved for celebrities. Commented one TripAdvisor reviewer, "Amazing. This was the first place we visited on our arrival in New York. It was just getting dark and to see the city light up was breathtaking.

<p>Built by George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1889 and 1895, the <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60742-d102846-Reviews-Biltmore_Estate-Asheville_North_Carolina.html">Biltmore Estate</a> stands as a luxurious reminder of the Gilded Age in Asheville, North Carolina. The Biltmore House, the main house on the estate, boasts more than 178,000 square feet of floor space and is considered the largest privately owned house in the US. "Biltmore Estates was absolutely amazing. The house and grounds speak for themselves but the staff only added to the magical essence of the place.

<p>First opened in 1883, the <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60827-d102741-Reviews-Brooklyn_Bridge-Brooklyn_New_York.html">Brooklyn Bridge</a> sees the daily passage of more than 124,000 vehicles between Brooklyn and Manhattan - and that doesn't include the many bicyclists, runners and walkers that also cross the bridge each day. History buffs should pay close attention to the bridge's anchorages on the Manhattan side, as one features a plaque that marks the site of the first Presidential Mansion. A TripAdvisor reviewer shared, "Wow. The views are wonderful. The bridge itself is breathtaking. Gorgeous architecture. Really enjoyed walking over this New York institution."</p><p><strong>Average Summer bookable rates in Brooklyn:</strong> June: $210, July: $204, August: $211</p><p><strong>Reason to book now:</strong> World Science Festival, multiple events in Brooklyn Bridge Park - June 1-5, 2016</p><p><strong>Top-rated tour:</strong> <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductDetail?product=7872P1&d=102741&aidSuffix=xsell&partner=Viator">Brooklyn Bridge Historical Walking Tour</a> - tickets start at $25 per person</p>ブルックリン橋

The popular <b>Today Show</b> premiered live from its studio in Rockefeller Center in 1952, and has since filmed more than 16,000 episodes in the area. "This is definitely a place every tourist should see. You can go to the Top of the Rock (for a fee), meander outside, or simply get lost in the underground eating and shopping extravaganza," one TripAdvisor reviewer commented.</p><p><strong>Average Summer bookable rates in Midtown:</strong> June: $352, July: $310, August: $318</p><p><strong>Reason to book now:</strong> "Elmgreen & Dragset: Van Gogh's Ear" art installation at the entrance to the Channel Gardens at Rockefeller Center - on display through June 3, 2016</p><p><strong>Top-rated tour:</strong> <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductDetail?product=7081NYCNIGHT&d=7262882&aidSuffix=tvrm&partner=Viator">NYC at Night:</a> Sightseeing Cruise and Bus Tour - tickets start at $55 per person</p>ロックフェラーセンター
とまあ、MSNが独断で決めたものです。

 雨?
Atlanta, GA 7-Day Forecast
金曜日がかなり’やばいですね。

 とりあえずで、見切りで魚をオーダーします。金曜日の朝に検査受けて合格すれば、その夜は営業できますから、練習をやらないと月曜日からの本番の間に合いませんからね。
 これがどう出るかです。アルコールはすでにライセンスがあるので、いつでも運べるようです。
