According to Tokyo Times, this broom shop hasn't sold anything since 1972.
A store that, perhaps due to a niche that’s not exactly necessary nowadays, unfortunately hasn’t had the pleasure of a patron since 1972 — Saturday, September 2nd, to be precise. And even then the customer in question was after a hand brush that unfortunately they didn’t have.
Only 4.4 per cent of the under-25s' dreams were black and white. The over-55s who had had access to colour TV and film during their childhood also reported a very low proportion of just 7.3 per cent.
But the over-55s who had only had access to black-and-white media reported dreaming in black and white roughly a quarter of the time.
Even though they would have spent only a few hours a day watching TV or films, their attention and emotional engagement would have been heightened during this time, leaving a deeper imprint on their mind, Miss Murzyn told the New Scientist.
"The crucial time is between three and 10 when we all begin to have the ability to dream," she said.
"Television and films which by their very nature are interesting and emotionally engaging and even dreamlike. So when you dream you may copy what you have seen on the screen.
"I have even had a computer game player who dreams as if he is in front of a computer screen."
The local Republicans are wandering a static wilderness, caught between equally powerless factions, hovering in a power vacuum, and it’s going to be years before they get their acts together to do anything approaching what’s been accomplished by Democrats this election cycle."
What makes this statement relevant outside of the immediate Asheville area is that it could almost be said verbatim by anyone in any area of the country right now.
Now as to how many years it will take them to get their act together - I for one am looking at decades before the repugicans are even approaching the status of a viable political party.
They have always been a 'third party' party who have through machinations of all types attempted to rig and steal every election they have been in since the mid-1800s.
They have never had the numbers to win outright and the numbers have held pretty much constant from the beginning so that if every registered repugican voted the party line while only one-third of the Democrats voted the party line and no other votes were cast the repugicans would lose and lose by a landslide.
The only hope they have ever had has been to mislead, misinform, beguile, distract, divert and any means of suppressing the vote they think they can get away with.
This time, T'aint working McGee.
Police say 20-year-old Gomez turned on flashing lights and used a siren and loudspeaker to coax police Lt. Ronald Bair off the road.
Bair called for backup, and officers arrested Gomez and 20-year-old Esteban Cardona.
Gomez is charged with impersonating a police officer, reckless driving and improper use of red flashing lights. Cardona, who was driving another car involved in the bogus traffic stop, is charged with reckless driving.

Proving once again the 'dumb criminals' stereotype is actually well founded.
Seven Western Carolina University students were involved, and possible charges were being discussed with the local prosecutor, said Campus Police Chief Tom Johnson. Police did not release the students' names.
The students told authorities they took political signs at random to cover the bear's wound and prevent blood from spilling into the bed of the truck they were driving.
They discovered a carcass of the cub, which had been shot in the head, while camping over the weekend and brought it back to a gathering at an apartment near campus Sunday night, according to a statement from the school.
It was during that gathering, officials said, that a student suggested placing the bear at the base of a statue at the main entrance to the campus.
Maintenance workers found the bear cub's body early Monday morning near the school's entrance.
"I am pleased to hear that this situation appears to be a stupid prank," Western Carolina chancellor John W. Bardo said.

Whew! This is 'good news' - (relatively speaking - whomever shot the bear cub needs to be hung by their short hairs, but that is another story) - because the area around Cullowhee, North Carolina is as Liberal as you can get and to think the troglodytes might be attempting to gain a toe hold there is disgusting.
Dumb college kids being stupid ... an all too common theme.
