Uh, oh.  How long in NJ?

I'm from Portland--thirty years--and I resisted this place rubbing off on
me, but people now say I even have a hint of an accent.  No pickup truck or
cowboy hat  yet, though.

RH: "But then, I've been in the South for twenty-seven years and haven't
been
up
in your territory for awhile.  Maybe I am just mis-reading that naturally
abrasive (as I was called for years by my southern colleagues) tone that
folks in your regional culture have in their voice all the time."

        Umm, RH: I'm from California.  Born and bred.
