Roundabout success

Yes, I was one of those who complained when they began to put a roundabout on Lexington. But I have to say, it's really a good thing. The traffic flow is easy. You can get through there a lot quicker. And it's just a good thing. Thank you very much.

Christmas cards

This is directed for the Postal Service. I was wondering why Christmas cards can't be sent at a lower rate of postage than it takes to send other mail. Most people enjoy Christmas cards, but don't send them anymore or just send a few because postage keeps going up every year. It's going up another 3 cents sometime soon in the future.

Trans fat

OK, I've got a dumb question. If the FDA outlaws partially hydrogenated cooking oils, can companies still make stick margarine, or will margarine have to always come in tubs because it will be too soft to stand up as a stick? Just wondering.
