WHAT WILL MATTER

By Michael Josephson

Ready or not some day it will come to an end.

There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected whether treasured or forgotten will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.

It will not matter what you owned or what your were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear. So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

It won’t matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on.

At the end it won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.

So what will matter?

How will the value of your days be measured?

Graffitti Still a Problem in Gloucester City

 \"P1040833\"

PHOTO: A Nazi swastika has been placed on the traffic control box at the intersection of Broadway and Monmouth Streets. In the distance on the right is the Gloucester City Municipal Building.

Bill,

Remember one of the key graffiti sites on my photo shoot: the traffic control box in front of Bank of America, corner on Monmouth and Broadway. Well, shortly after you posted my photos, the disgusting obscenities on that box were removed by the county or city.

Whoever did the removal there and at many, but not all, of the other sites deserves a loud shout-out on your website.

Sadly, however, the site in front of the bank has been hit recently, I think, by new\"P1040834\" \”artwork\”: this time one of the two tags on the traffic control box is a very large swastika–certainly not a good advertisement for the town as people drive down Broadway.

This truly sick graffiti should be removed immediately, lest it spread to other places about town.

PHOTO: On one side of the traffic control box facing the City Municipal Building is a swastika. The other tag on the box is a written message that reads Peter N Melissa 8-1-08.

Hopefully you and your website and camera can be the impetus for the graffiti\’s removal. Also, perhaps the police can try to find the sick culprit.

All the best,
Bill Waters
