The Suffolk County engineers have more sense than Charlie McArdle or anyone else [“Suffolk County Will Again Restrict Lanes, Re-Program Traffic Lights on CR39 in Pared-Down Version of Traffic Flow Experiment,” 27east.com, October 1]. There are hundreds of people who live off South Magee Street. The idea that you’re preventing us from going west by making it illegal to turn right onto Hill Street or left onto County Road 39 from Magee Street is preposterous.
I am at a loss for words to think anyone would ask residents or anyone else to drive east another two miles, only to turn around and join the traffic to go west. That idea is just ridiculous and unsafe as well.

Infernal GadgetsI am writing this letter to ask all of you to agree with me that the gasoline-powered leaf blower is, perhaps, one of the worst inventions of the past 75 years. It would be fitting if it was invented in...
