I Sound Like What?

So, there's this strange survey out there, about accents. Now, keep in mind that I lived in New York City until I was ten, and then in California until I was fifty-five - and I've never lived within 500 miles of Wisconsin.

I asked Mrs. OWW if I sounded like I was from Wisconsin, and she said that even with the cold I'm fighting, I'm generic Californian, with Good Ol' Boy Jawja overtones that I've picked up in the three years that we've lived in SE Georgia...
