I don't understand why the Post Office does not round the number to a nice even number. It was stupid enough for them to use a prime number (37) with the last postal price increase. Why don't they have the sense to price a letter at 40 cents and 45, 50 etc? They could spread the gain or loss over time and save people the aggrivation
