I came across that little traffic circle on a Saturday, a few weeks ago. Two of us approaching from…Read More different directions yielded to the car already in the circle, just as we were supposed to do, and it worked great! Of course, more hardcore engineering may be needed to corral users who don't understand the design, or scofflaws who imagine that painted "yield" symbols and lane markings don't apply to them. I believe I heard that step is in the works. Traffic circles and traffic-calming roundabouts are becoming common all over the country, because they improve traffic flow and reduce speeding and crashes.

I guess I can't hit the enter button because that submits the post so from now on (until they fix…Read More the problem), all of my posts will be one paragraph. What Angelina did was her choice, based on the multi-billion dollar per cancer industry, and by the people that like do unnecessary surgeries to line their pockets. Ask one of those male doctors if he is willing to have his testicles removed "just in case" he might get testicular cancer in the future. I'll bet that they would laugh at anyone who proposed that question. There are many ways that people can take care of their bodies to prevent cancer, like taking vitamin D, magnesium, selenium, turmeric and many more anti-inflammatory herbs. Also diet and environmental factors play a role in the pre-disposition to get cancer. In most cases, genes only play about a 5% role in a chance of inheriting or contracting cancer. But this big business of cancer research doesn't want hear about anything else besides expensive pharmaceutical drugs and surgery, anything else would threaten their business model. This post is a test of the new Patch commenting system.

Thanks Jim W. for your reply and explaining things to us. I look forward to a new Patch where people…Read More are more considerate of other's opinions. I hope the new filters get rid of the hacker/trolls. And by the way, if you don't port over the comments about the transgender shower sharing article that I glanced at last night, you will be doing all of us a favor !
