Heard on local NE PA news

[Wilson Gray]

Reporter covering flooding of Toby(sp?) Creek, caused by day-long,
heavy rains in Wyoming County:

"What's it been like, today?"

Forty-ish local:

"It's just been awful. I've never seen the creek _[krIk]_ like this before!"


The first time that I've ever that pronunciation in the wild.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"––a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
