Dan Hulslander: Roundabout risky

William S. Schurman: Make King happy

At least put up an "Entering a construction zone" sign five to 10 miles on each end of town.

Joanne Palmer: For emergencies - or everything
I just got a new phone. By the time I figure out how to use it, I'll be ready for my next upgrade. I've already misplaced my owner's manual. But that's OK. Truly. Because I still have two CDs to view and a 70-page manual of shortcuts to master.
