If you need me today, I'll be digging up my grandfather and cleaning his bones.

Dia De Los Muertos!

that part of halloween is pretty creepy, guess the huge party after is worth it though.

they should try cleaning their own houses and streets before they worry about the bones :2 cents:

Harmon,

I totally agree with you. WHY? I live down here in Central Mexico.

The oddest part of today is to drive past a cemetary and see the carnival rides that have been set up and all the families with dinner spreads on top of the graves, chowing down.

A strange culture, indeed.

weird :disgust

born and raised? or transplanted? if so from where? i ask only because i have often pondered the thought of living down there by the beach :glugglug

hmm, I'm not familiar with this kind of "procedure" I guess...

interesting....this info is new to me. Thanx 4 sharing...
