speaking of lego blocks
see the town I grew up in is kinda small. So these 4 towns kind of grouped up together and we kind of just considered ourselves the same area. We even had the "4 town fair". It was Enfield, Ellington, Somers, and East Windsor. I spent all my childhood living in one of these 4 towns, same with my family. If you go there I there is a 7 in 10 chance that any given person you meet is one of my cousins. Made dating really dodgey, and people wonder why I see no problem with sleeping with your best mates ex-girlfriend. Come on bro, here in 4 towns there aren't that many fish left in the sea!!!
Anyways, flip over any lego box and you will notice all legos are made in 4 towns. Specifically in Enfield... directly in my grandmothers backyard. Well the pasture is seperating us which has a large hill in the middle, but it's right freakin' back there. That pasture is ours!!!

the farm in the lower right is my families farm house, the factory in the upper left is where Legos are made.
So of course one of the big jobs around town is working at Lego making legos. And your kid get's to go to the really spiffy Lego Day Care that looks like it is built out of legos (actually most of Lego including the factory is built to look like it is made out of legos and there are giant legos laying around, it's really funny). Hallmark is also in Enfield and those employees can go to Lego Day Care too... my mother worked for Hallmark.
Anyways, my cousin worked there and got his hand caught in the press and pointer finger was pressed into that of a 4X2 lego block!!!! AWESOME!!!!
