Well Jon, I did cross international lines for the sole purpose of buying
Lego. From here in Plattsburgh, NY it is about a 1 hr. drive to get to

BG: "You are a college student and you went to Montreal just to buy Lego?"
Me: "Yes Sir."
BG: "Well, okay then." (At this point the man's facial expression was quite
interesting. He didn't seem to know at all what to say)
