up.  rarely needed, thank God.

You mean "despite" having lived in MI, right?  'Toboggan' is used all
through southern and SE Ohio, much to the chagrin of Northerners like
the
kids from Chagrin, Ohio (upper class smartalecks from the Cleveland
area).  It's also in North Carolina, according to Connie Eble; how far
south/west/east does it go?  (This may be in the archives; can't
recall.)
