I'm uncertain where I got my upper midwestern too! The yankee comes from my grandmother I'm sure. I'm surprised that there isn't more Dixie though. Hmmm.... Maybe it's from moving so much in the military and picking up a little of this and that in my speech from the areas and the people. Hmm... I don't know.
