あれ、映画になるんですねぇ…。本、95セントでThrift Store で買ったけど、結局まだ読み終わってない…って言うか、最初の部分読んだだけで止まっている…。映画には日本で知られている日本人俳優が出ているけど、やっぱり英語のできる人じゃないと駄目だからなのか、中国系の俳優が多いみたいですね。Koji Yakusho と見て、Shall we dance? のあの人じゃなく、あの別の人…名前、なんだっけ？？？昔、松田聖子とドラマに出てた人…。私はいつもあの人とこの人とごっちゃになる。映画は今年の暮れ公開らしいけど、きっとDVDになったら観るかな…。とにかく本を先に読まないとね。～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～検索しました。探しました。あの俳優の名前・・・別所哲也。あの人は昔、ハリウッド映画に出ているので、てっきり彼が出ているのかと思った。

いろいろな思い
アメリカで起こった事とは思えない。テレビで観るのは、ほとんどが黒人。前もって避難できなかったのは低所得者だったらしい。“We live paycheck to paycheck. We couldn't evacuate."と叫んでいる黒人男性がいた。お金がすべてじゃないとは言え、やっぱり結局はお金がないとだめ。ある女性リポーターは警察から（？）、“早くここから逃げなさい。犯罪者を解放しなければいけない。この先は自分の身は自分で守ってくれ。”と言われたんだそうだ…。怖い。凶悪犯は前もって他の刑務所に移動させられたんだろう…と願う。一般市民だって、暴徒化しているんだから。ハリウッド俳優だとか、テレビに出ている有名人って、とんでもないお金を稼いでいる。億単位？の家を持ってたり、億単位の家を何個も持っていたり。そう言う人たちが数人集まって、金銭的に救助に協力したら、事態は早く良くなるんじゃないかと思う。セリーヌ・ディオン、パフ・ディディ（あと二人は忘れた）は、それぞれ約一億円寄付したらしい。若いヒラリー・ダフも約5千万円？寄付。ジェイ・レノは自分のトークショーのゲストのサインを集めたバイクを後日寄付の為にネット競売にかけるらしい。プロテニスのセリーナだったか、ヴィーナスだったか、どっちかはこの先一年、サーブでエースを取る度、100ドル寄付するんだそうだ。ドナルド・トランプは自分の顔写真入りレベルのついた（！）ボトル水を寄付した…。“アメリカ人を殺せ”と唱え続けている一部の人たち。今回の大災害を喜んでいるんだろうか？テレビで悲惨な状態を観るたび、悲しくなるし気の毒だと思う。でも、結局他人事のように私たちの多くは自分の生活を続けるしかない。私が援助の為にした事は、仕事場で＄3募金した事。＄3だけ？と思うけど、チリも積もれば山となる。復旧には半年から1年ぐらいかかるらしい。早く被害に遭った人の状態が良くなる事を祈る。

ガソリン
Pump prices stun gas-guzzling Americans By Deepa Babington NEW YORK (Reuters) - Americans were furious and stunned by record gasoline prices after devastation from Hurricane Katrina and a few drivers even thought of giving up things that define the U.S. way of life: gas-guzzling cars and long summer road trips. Gasoline prices vaulted to well over $3 a gallon in many parts of the United States after Katrina slammed the Gulf Coast, shutting down most of the region's oil production and refineries. Gasoline had sold for about $2.60 a gallon before the hurricane hit."It's highway robbery," said Ed Wykstra, 77, as he filled his car at a Mobil station in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, where regular unleaded gasoline was selling at $3.18 a gallon, up from $2.76 early on Wednesday. "It means I'm going to use the car as little as possible."Though the latest data shows the nationwide gas price average $2.68 a gallon, the real figure could be 10 to 20 cents higher given reports that some stations are changing prices up to three times daily, said AAA spokesman Geoff Sundstrom.The U.S. motorist group has received a number of complaints from members about the rapid rise in prices, alongside reports of prices topping $3 in many parts of the country, he said.One cab driver says he watched in amazement as a New York gas station billboard price was changed from $2.91 a gallon to $3.49 even as he filled his tank on Wednesday night."If the price keeps going up like this, I may just have to quit driving this cab for a while," he said.In one Chicago suburb of Niles, $50 fill-ups were commonplace as regular gas prices hit $3.16 a gallon."One guy just put $75 worth in his tank," a bemused attendant said, adding the customer was not a happy one.Others fear the worst is yet to come."I expect gas prices to go up but I'm more worried about the supply situation," said sales manager Roger Damal, as he filled up at a Manhattan gas station. "I'm old enough to remember the shortages and hours of waiting in line for gas in the 1970s when I was in college."Luckily for Damal, he was not in Alabama or Atlanta, where gas station lines snaked around city blocks or spilled onto busy streets."Lines are two blocks long in both directions," said Darcie Gibbons, from Daphne, Alabama, just east of the hard-hit area of Mobile. "The lines were that long in the morning and (my husband) is in line now and said he expected it to take an hour."For all the outrage from U.S. drivers over soaring prices, they still pay much less than their European counterparts, who have learned to adapt with much smaller cars and shorter commutes. In Britain, for example, petrol prices hover over roughly $6 a gallon.Already, there are some signs that the shock of climbing gas prices is prompting some Americans to give up their penchant for big cars and big road trips.A Californian woman visiting Chicago said she and her family planned on visiting the Abraham Lincoln Museum in Springfield, Illinois, over the Labor Day weekend but decided against it because of the high cost of gasoline.An interior designer who commutes daily to Connecticut from his home in Manhattan said he had already skipped his summer vacation this year and perhaps it was time to look for a new job closer to home now. "This is ridiculous. You can't even fill up 10 gallons for 30 bucks," Joe Nevins said at a Manhattan pump. "I'm just going to have to quit my job at this rate." The only one smiling at the pump was eco-tourism consultant Geoff Botosan, who thinks this change in mind set among Americans is long overdue. "This is an idea whose time has come. Perhaps people will finally calm down and start driving less," said Botosan.
