I think that is more pertinent. Strangely the path in front of the Toyota dealership next door is cleared.

Brand being the key word in that sentence, even if you are taking the piss.
There are several of the major dealerships on that street. The Lexus one stood out as far as my journey took me this evening.
My basic point is the attitude, they cleared the entrance for cars, but didn't bother to do the path. Everyone else had made an effort as far as I could see, I'll be going up there in daylight tomorrow and will be sure to check VW, Landrover and Harley Davidson. In contrast our Hancho, Mr H, cleared about a kilometer of path along Nogawa while everyone else was still in bed.
I'm going to raise the issue of the lack of grit (in both senses) with the Shiyakusho, there is a pattern of heavy snow and hardened ice. With an aging society they are going to find a lot more elderly people having to chose between risking a broken limb or sitting at home cold and hungry.
I guess what Takechan is saying is the young Japanese are good at finding excuses not to do some hard work, and if some old lady falls over and breaks her wrist we should just carry her up the mountain and leave her.

China’s space station is not out of control and people living under it aren’t in danger, a leading Chinese engineer has said amid fears it could soon slam down to Earth.
Repeated warnings have suggested that the space agency has lost control of its station and that it could plummet down to Earth. But it has told the public that it knows exactly what is going on with it.
Tiangong-1, which translates as “heavenly palace”, was launched into orbit in 2011. Since then it has been undertaking experiments, in large part as a test to have a permanent station in space by 2023.
It was supposed to be decommissioned in 2013, with a controlled destruction. That has been repeatedly delayed, however, leading to fears that it could be out of control and the Chinese space agency is simply waiting for it to fall back to Earth.
If it did so and managed to land over a populated area, the remains of the space station that don’t burn up on re-entry could cause serious damage.
hu Congpeng, a top engineer at the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, told the state-backed Science and Technology Daily newspaper that the space station was not crashing and did not pose a safety or environmental threat.
“We have been continuously monitoring Tiangong-1 and expect to allow it to fall within the first half of this year,” Mr Zhu told the newspaper.
“It will burn up on entering the atmosphere and the remaining wreckage will fall into a designated area of the sea, without endangering the surface,” he said.
**sigh of relief** So it won't rain space stations and I won't have to adjust my window blinds then. Happy days.

Does it make much difference when there is this much rain? (seriously asking).
