Urban legend my foot! <g> If you check the Guinness Book of Westy
Records, you will note on page 496, paragraph 93, that on this date, a
year ago, an entire tiny tray of very small ice cubes was verified in a
Westy located in Massachussetts, somewhere near Boston. I, myself,
personally (and redundantly, I might add) also saw them. <g>

The true question that has puzzled Dometic owners from the time of
Herodotus is what one does with the ice cubes so made. They are so small
they melt before you can get them into a glass. Since nothing in a Westy
goes to waste, one can only assume that the ice cubes serve some purpose
that has been lost to us over the eons of time it takes to get the
Dometic fired up again. :)

One hopes that Science (or Martha Stewart) will solve this puzzle for us
all.

Wishing it were Friday, and Humorously, too,
