Richard,

I read that item about talking tombstones. I thought it was
mildly wierd, but after all, it is California. Can't you just
imagine a nagging mom leaving a message to her kids or a
message for her husband. She could still nag from the grave.

I thought the same thing....

Altho there will be the person who leaves the X-rated message....

Let me give it a thought.....

Plane lands on freeway

Pilot suspected of being intoxicated

CASTAIC -- An apparently drunk pilot landed his plane on the Golden State Freeway near Castaic on Saturday, then clipped a van and flipped over before coming to a stop on the shoulder, authorities said.

Marc South, 53, of Eloy, Ariz., suffered minor injuries when his two-seater Cessna came down at noon in the northbound lanes of Interstate 5, north of Lake Hughes Road, according to the California Highway Patrol. No other injuries were reported.

"When the officers got out there they smelled alcohol. He was extremely intoxicated," said Officer Wendy Hahn of the CHP's Newhall station. "It looks like he was trying to land and overtook a van going the same direction. He clipped the van and flipped over."

CHP officers said they took him into custody on suspicion of flying while intoxicated.

Hahn said the pilot, the plane's sole occupant, was flying from Arizona to Sacramento and made two stops before the crash. South stopped in Blythe, Calif., for fuel and then in La Verne for food, Hahn said.

South was taken to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital for X-rays, Hahn said.

The slow lane was closed for more than four hours, slowing northbound traffic through the Newhall Pass.
