Zorro


 

Zorro, Spanish for fox, is the name used by a fictional character, a Mexican-era California masked hero and master swordsman of the Old West, whose real name is Don Diego de la Vega. (Don Diego Vega in the original story). He fights for the Californio people against the corrupt tyranny of the Spanish governor, proving himself to be much too foxlike and cunning for the bumbling authorities to catch.

The character's visual motif is typically a black costume with a cape, a small flat brimmed hat (wide sombrero in the original book) and a black cowl mask that covers the top of the head from eye level up. In addition, his favored weapon is a sword which he often uses to leave his distinctive emblem, a large Z made from three quick scratches.

Cute room in a clean peaceful house (petaluma) $700

This room is in my house on the east side of Petaluma. The room is extremely bright and sunny. It is already furnished if you need furniture. There is a full size bed, dresser, night stand, lamp, TV, and full length mirror. You will be sharing a large full bathroom with me. The bathroom is right across the hall from your room. You will have half or more of a large floor to ceiling cabinet, space under the sink, in the medicine cabinet, and of course some space in the shower. About the residents: You will share the house with my mother and I. I am an eighteen year old college student. I am fun loving, a clean housekeeper, have a lot of studying to do, and get along with pretty much anybody. My mom is a pretty cool lady in her forties. She has a pretty active social life and won't be home most of the time. Some things that won't be tolerated in our house and might cause tension with the mother are 1)smoking, 2)excessive drinking, 3)not cleaning up after yourself etc. 4)invading personal space and property, 5)probably most important, drug use. You are more than welcome to share the common areas of the house. You can hang out in the living room, eat in the kitchen, use the garage, and enjoy the beautiful backyard with a hot tub and deck. You just can't make messes, add your own decorations, or hog the television. What we are looking for: A responsible, preferably female, who has a steady job, is polite and friendly, and can respect the peaceful atmosphere of the house. It would be really great if you are a student as well. Oh, and we have two adorable kitties. Buddy, an enormous lovable orange fluff ball, and Zorro who you probably won't see most of the time. Email if your interested!
