I recently visited friends from California that ended up east of Rockwall, which is east of Dallas, and they hate driving into Dallas because of all the accidents. They pointed out all the roadside altars in the access road from their subdivision to the main freeway and indeed there was alot of altars for people that have passed away on that particular stretch.
