I used to go to Stinson beach all the time w/my grandmother and hunt for carnelians. Zola says thanks too.<BR/><BR/>patches, Yes, that Zola, and Greco as in El Greco. Our other cat was named by Em when she was 7, her name is Betsy. I was afraid that Em would name her Kitty or Fluffy so i steered her to a name from her favorite book, which at the time was Betsy-Tacy.menohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18065283682414369608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1170376147801619392007-02-01T16:29:00.000-08:002007-02-01T16:29:00.000-08:00Zola, as an Emile Zola the 19th century art critic...Zola, as an Emile Zola the 19th century art critic?
