   Reading the wiki page is headache inducing. I remember Green Mountain from   
   when I lived in the area. Funny how the tree huggers got into the Keurig   
   business.

   I'm not proficient but I do better with written rather than spoken Dutch.   
   Back when listservs were a thing I was on the lowlands-l list. It seems to   
   have survived.

   Going the other way my people emigrated from what is now the Baden-   
   Württemberg area where there are the Upper German dialects that differ   
   from standard German.   
      
   fwiw, the Bitterroot flows north so there's the same situation that   
   confuses some people. Do you go up the Bitterrot or down the Bitterroot?   
   It's just as well Upper Saxony didn't survive as a state.
