I've heard the "Canadian" vowel sound from "house" and "out" used by
people from the Blue Ridge part of Virginia -- the narrator's voice
on _The_Waltons_ was a good example.  And I always had thought it was
only the maritime provinces in Canada that used it, but I guess that's
not so.  Where are the MacKenzies from?
