dotty dogses

you know what my current blogger template always makes me think of?

shari's dalmation polka la dot. not that I ever actually *met* polka. never had that pleasure. but she lived large in my imagination, due to her most-apt name.

then there's brad nowell's (deceased lead singer of sublime) dalmation, lou dog, who adorns much of their album cover art and makes cameos in the lyrics. I credit lou with that bedsheet covered with sand brad complains about in "garden grove"-- remember, I too had my lu, just not a dotty one, and following our visits out to fort funston, she'd leave some substantial beach in the sheets.
