	My brother & I were in Greendale Wisconsin in a hobby
    store, when two of the natives (My bro' & I are from California),
    saw a model of a Volkswagen Dune Buggy, called, of course,
    a Baja Bug, after the Baja peninsula.  We Californians pronounce
    Baja [Bah - hah], but these wisconsinites pronounced it like
    it's spelled.  In great excitement, one said to the other,
    "Look, Wally!  A Ba-Ja Bug!".  My brother and I couldn't
    stop laughing, and the natives probably thought we were crazy.
