木曜日からMarch Madness 3月18日(月)

Marzo Dieci ocho (Lunes)
 今朝のニュースを見ると、木曜日からバスケのマーチ・マッドネスがCBS系列で始まります。デューク、NC、ゴンザガ、そしてオクラホマが有力候補です。
 先週末は、めずらしく金曜日も土曜日もそろって予算達成です。極端に混まず、ゆっ栗と長い時間入ってくれたのが良かったような。そしてウニなどを食べる方がたくさんいました。子連れで来て、チキン食べられても、売り上げは行きません、やはり寿司や刺身を食べる方がいないとダメということです。

 災害ニュース、ジンバブエでサイクロンのため90人が死亡しています。北米はまたもやカリフォルニアは低気圧が接近し、雨になります。
 冬が終わり、春になると低地は大変! ネブラスカ州とアイオワ州に洪水警報が出ています。大雪が溶け出すと川が氾濫します。

 ポルシェが昨年、売り上げ新記録! 25万5千台を販売しています。1位は2年連続で中国ー12%増の8万台、2位が米国で3%増の5万7千台でした。売り上げは258億ユーロなのに営業利益が43億ユーロもあります。

 サブプライム危機再熱? しかし今回は自動車ローン。クレジットスコア620以下がサブプライムの層と言われ、高い金利を払わないとお金が借りれないのですが、この層での自動車ローンの延滞率が12月に8%を超えています。
 延滞とは何か? 90日以上支払いがないことを指しますが、700万人がこれに該当し、2010年よりも100万人多いそうです。
 40%のアメリカ人は400ドルの急な出費に対応できない、とも言われていますが、身の丈以上の生活をしようとするのがアメリカ人、謙虚な生活をすべきでは。

Slide 2 of 51: “All Night Long” singer Lionel Richie was born and raised in Tuskegee, Alabama. He grew up on the campus of the Tuskegee Institute, where his grandfather had worked with the college’s founder, Booker T. Washington. Richie eventually enrolled at Tuskegee himself, but it wasn’t long before he met some Tuskegee freshmen who were forming a musical group and approached him because they’d heard he had a saxophone. Soon, he dropped out of Tuskegee to pursue his musical dreams as a member of The Commodores.But his upbringing is what helped him redefine musical genres. “Growing up in Tuskegee, Alabama was the bubble,” Richie told Esquire. “In the bubble, I learned no limitations. My grandmother’s a classical pianist. Country music is outside the community. R&B is in the community and the gospel choir is on the campus. Jazz. It was all just music to me.”アラバマ州 ライオネル・リッチー
Slide 11 of 51: Historic Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia. His skills as a public speaker emerged early and he was part of the debate team at Booker T. Washington High School. After passing an entrance exam, King started attending the prestigious Morehouse College at just 15 years old.Though he traveled far and wide fighting for Civil Rights, Georgia was an important part of King’s formative years, and his later years, too. In his legendary “I Have a Dream” speech, King said: “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.” And for more Civil Rights leaders you should know, check out 23 Lesser-Known Civil Rights Figures You Need to Know About.ジョージア州 MLK
Slide 10 of 51: The world’s biggest pop star hails from Boca Raton, Florida, where she discovered her love of singing and acting. A young Ariana Grande performed with the Fort Lauderdale Children’s Theater, appearing in Beauty and the Beast and The Wizard of Oz, before moving to Los Angeles at the age of 13 to pursue her music career.フロリダ州 アリアナ・グランデ
Slide 34 of 51: Basketball great Michael Jordan was born in Brooklyn, but he spent most of his formative years in Wilmington, North Carolina. Funnily enough, he failed to make his high school varsity basketball team as a sophomore, due to his height.But he showed loyalty to his home state when he chose to play for the University of North Carolina—under famous coach Dean Smith—turning down offers from Duke, South Carolina, Syracuse, and Virginia.ノースカロライナ州 マイケル・ジョーダン
Slide 41 of 51: Hootie & The Blowfish singer Darius Rucker grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, where he sang in the church and high school choirs. He went on to attend the University of South Carolina, where he tried to make it by touring the local bar scene.Today, Rucker still lives in his home state, where he plays an annual HomeGrown Concert.サウスカロライナ州 ダリウス・ルッカ―
Slide 43 of 51: Miley Cyrus was raised in Franklin, Tennessee. The eventual actress and pop star attended Heritage Elementary School before her family relocated to Canada (where her dad, Billy Rae Cyrus, was starring on a television series).But eventually, the Cyruses found their way back to Tennessee, which is where Cyrus calls home today. Though she has houses in California as well, Cyrus and her husband Liam Hemsworth, recently got married in a small secret ceremony at their Tennessee mansion.テネシー州 マイリー・サイラス

Cool, breezy, and sunny Monday
 晴天は日曜日まで続きます。寒い朝は水曜日までのようです。日曜日の最高気温は70度になっています。
 昨夜、個人の銀行口座を確認しましたが、GA政府からの税金還付が入っていました。これであとは連邦政府から入ってくれば今年のTAXリターンは終わります。
 借金がほぼ、ゼロになりますが、4月15日支払い期限の第一期の前払いがあります。そして毎年やっているIRAにも6500ドルの限度額いっぱい入れますから、お金はそんなには残りません。すべては「楽しい老後のため」です。
