(...) I figure if you can find an instruction that LEGO(r) published that shows a particular thing being cut, or if you know they cut it during manufacturing, it's OK to cut that thing yourself too. IIRC LEGO has shown Flex tube being cut in (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So here I am at work in Burlington at 10:55 a.m., looking forward to dinner at Mels. However, by 11:00 a.m. on Friday the 13th (go figure), I was on the road to Windsor, Ontario (3 hours away).
