Today is All Souls Day (or Saints day.. I'm not really sure..but it's a holiday) and people go to cemeteries to visit grave of loved ones. Remember their dead and bring flowers and all that.
According to Holden Caulfied....
Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody. - The Catcher in the Rye, 1945
Since it's been raining the past few days and for two days people will flock to the cemeteries to bring flowers, this line from the JD Salinger book came into my blogging mind.
