Another Day In Paradise

My Dad sent me this, this morning:
This morning some reporter on NPR spoke of President's to RAY-ceen.

Does anyone out your way use that?

All Things Considered speaks of RAH-cine, which is the way I always heard it and used it.

Much love

My response:
actually yes, that is the way a lot of natives in KringleLand say it

In the United States, kringles are hand-rolled from Danish pastry dough (wienerbrød dough) that has been rested overnight before shaping, filling, and baking. Many layers of the flaky dough are layered, then shaped in an oval. After filling with fruit, nut, or other flavor combinations, the pastry is baked and iced.

Racine, Wisconsin, has historically been a center of Danish-American culture. Kringle and Danish culture are an important part of Racine's cultural identity, and several local bakeries make and ship hundreds of thousands of kringles each year.[1]

from the wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kringle

just for fun while i live in the largest county in the state, Marathon, pronounced like the race, the village 20 miles west of here that took its name from the county pronounces it The Village of Mar a tin. Several miles NE of there is another village that took its name from the Greek Capital that pronounces the village at tins

one of many reasons i love it here, especially when its 73 degrees, low humidity, light breeze, a few very high white clouds in the sky and there is a concert a block north of where i work, right outside my building

After I hit send I sang the following song to myself:
