Those two categories are driving a record $31.7 billion in Mother's Day spending, a $3.6 billion increase over last year's record, according to a report last week from the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insight & Analytics. Some 84 percent of U.S. adults said they plan to celebrate Mother's Day with a gift, spending $245 on average on their mothers and mother figures, the report said. (San Diego Patch)
- The sheriff's arson unit is investigating a series of small fires that erupted Thursday in Vista and Oceanside, including at least two incidents in which a man was reportedly seen starting the blazes, authorities said Friday. The first fire was reported just before 1 p.m. Thursday just south of State Route 78, according to Sgt. Anthony Portillo from the sheriff's bomb/arson unit. About three hours later a second fire was reported at the same location. During the second call in the late afternoon, witnesses reported seeing a man starting several fires in that area. About four hours later and two miles away, Oceanside police responded to a report of a man trying to start a fire, Portillo said. (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
