Travel tips from the Department of Common Sense

Apparently local canine fanciers haven't grasped the concept that dog-leaning-out-of-window-of-moving-vehicle is not the haute fashion statement of the warm-weather season. "Safety first" comes somewhere in the priority list after:
  • Deciding whether to prepare shrimp ceviché or Cocoa Krisipies treats for the Lost series finale viewing party.
  • Scoring tickets to the Seattle Sounders FC match against Argentina's Boca Juniors on the 26th without spending next month's Whole Foods budget. Buying organic vegetables at Safeway or QFC? What the...?
  • Exhibiting sympathy for the residents of the Gulf Coast while still driving one's Lexus GX10 or Land Rover LR4.
Enough already.

Your friends at Car Talk have posted a FIDO (Freeway Information for Dog Owners) page on their website with a busload of information (how's that for a mixing your metaphors?) about traveling with your four-legged friends. By the way, Tom and Ray Magliozzi discourage drivers from the dog-leaning-out-of-window-of-moving-vehicle practice, which they say works "right up until the moment that a bee hits you in the eye at 70 mph."
