Stopped at traffic lights, I often look up, and see pencil drawings in the sky.

Like listening to an L.P. with all it’s flaws, I embrace a photograph which is under exposed and full of grain. It’s not perfect but it’s beautiful!

I just bought new eyeglasses and thus found six used pairs in my desk!

So I decided to do something and I hope you will to:

Donate your old eyeglasses and sunglasses to help people with eyesight difficulties worldwide. (Sunglasses can be non-prescription. They are needed in countries near the equator to help protect people's eyes from sun damage.) Collection facilities include Goodwill Industries stores, LensCrafters stores, and Lions Club drop boxes. Items also can be sent in padded envelopes or boxes to:

New Eyes for the Needy
549 Millburn Avenue
P.O. Box 332
Short Hills, NJ 07078

E-mail ten friends who wear glasses to see if they have old pairs that could be recycled for people with eyesight problems. Collect them for donation.

RUNNING OUT OF PEOPLE*

Population: 354,850
Population Change 2000-2009: -128,813
Population Percent Change 2000-2009: -26.63%
Home Vacancy: 21.5%

New Orleans is unique in that its presence on this list is not due to industrial decline, but from natural disaster. Hurricane Katrina flooded 80% of the city, caused by some estimates more than $80 billion in damage, and displaced tens of thousands of residents. The period of widespread homelessness, severe crime, and slow recovery has left the city as a shadow of its former self.

While people are trickling back into the city, many will likely never return, and the city has lost more than a quarter of its population in just 10 years.
