Members of the Mexican community throughout San Diego County are celebrating the Day of the Dead holiday this week.

The ancient Dia de los Muertos holiday is a time to celebrate those who have died and its most well known icon is “La Calavera Catrina”—the skeleton of a high class woman.

The Day of the Dead celebration at the Old Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside had plenty of Catrinas and their male counterparts, Catrins.

I live in the area where the accident occured and I drive on Douglas just about every day. I have…Read More to agree that people must slow down when approaching that curve by the golf course and allow themselves enough time to merge into one lane. Those not familiar with that part of Douglas, really need to adhere to the warning signs that are posted, as they head in the direction of the base.
