Hey, how close is that to TWOD?  (I gather that's the native-East-Coast way
to pronounce it -- similar to BWOS'-tin.  :)  Where I grew up (Minneapolis)
it's pronounced TAHD, but not quite the nasal TAAHHHD that they say in
Milwaukee and Chicago.  :)
Is the east coast you refer to  the upper part of maine? I never heard it
pronounced like that.
