I wonder sometimes how long it will take to stop noticing the accent…

I am practically addicted to watching “The New This Old House Hour” (and man oh man do I wish we could go see the Carlisle house). Anyway, there’s no doubt that at least a couple of those guys are actually from this area, since the accents are so thick they couldn’t possibly be acquired. So tonight on “Ask This Old House” Roger is helping this guy in Alpharetta, Georgia shop for a riding lawnmower and he says to the guy, “It rides just like a cah.”
And the guy says to Roger, “No, it rides like a car.”
For some reason this struck me as unbearably funny. Probably because I tell the baby that when the weather gets nice I’ll take her to the pahk, and I’d take her to the park but they don’t have those here.
