Santa Dog Rosa

Another name for city of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County, California which was underground renamed after Residents song "Santa Dog" as well as to celebrate the creation of Charles "Sparky" Schultz - the one and only SNOOPY!

Jimmy Ray crossed the Golden Gate bridge and headed north on Highway 101 thinking about Santa Dog Rosa as well as all the years he'd been making that magical drive to the coast along River Road.

wolfdog

Any combination of dog and wolf, ie., a hybrid of the two. (It's a popular consensus that three parts dog to one part wolf genetically makes a "safe" wolfdog hybrid.)

When I was looking for a canine companion at the Sonoma County SPCA on highway 12 in the early 80's; a beautiful wolfdog which the attendant told me was a Timberwolf, Malamute, Siberian Husky and German Shepard mix ran to the cage front, jumped up, made eye contact and beseached me to get him out of jail.

Mister November

Nickname for Chase Utley of the Philadelphia "Phillies" who on November 2, 2009 hit his 5th homerun in World Series with New York Yankees to tie previous "Mister October" numbers put up by Reggie Jackson. Chase has either one or two games more to BEAT the RECORD and those damn Yankees, the team of my childhood.

When Chase Utley hit two homeruns in a game for the second time in the 2009 WORLD SERIES between the Phillies and the Yankees (game 1 and game 5); he earned the nickname "Mister November".

Chevy Chaser

Name of a locally famous dog straight out of Northern California history. He lived in the 80's and early 90's and was a Timberwolf, Malamute, Siberian Husky and German Shepard mix. His ashes now reside on top of Mount Saint Helena.

When Jim brought Chevy Chaser home from the Humane Society in Sebastopol; this amazing pup had followed the Chevy Z28 a couple hundred yards down a country road and into the driveway as Donna said, "He's a Chevy Chaser!"

cubism

1.Cubism is a description or label for a period or process of art style pioneered by Pablo Picasso. Picasso broke his images into pieces and changed subjects colors either by choosing hues across the color wheel or those which suited some other artistic purpose necessary to complete his theme. His broken mirror pieces probably were devices which allowed him to put other dimensions (time and space) of each subject matter onto the same canvas in whatever rearrangement suited his whims and compositions needs. In this manner, Pablos renderings actually escaped the limited dimensions of the canvas for all time.

2. The state of being a Cubano or Cubana refugee who has been torn from the old homeland and forced to accept the foibles and exhilerations of the new one.

1. Pablo Picasso broke his subjects into pieces and painted those shards with alternate hues in order to escape the usual dimensions of the painted canvas and formulate the school of cubism.

2. Dulce Maria was an American girl to the max and also had many tell-tale indicators of cubism.

Snoopyville

Another name for Santa Rosa, the home of deceased Charles Schultz and his awesome canine creation who'll live forever known as the one and only Snoopy.

Although Santa Rosa is known as the center of the redwood empire as well as a major hub of northern California wine country; if it's real importance was reflected in its name it would be forever called "Snoopyville".
