But what will I do with old Joey now?

From the Greyhound baggage guidelines:

Acids, ammunition, animals, combustible liquids, compressed gases, corpses, cremated remains, explosives, firearms of all types, fireworks, flammable liquids, furniture, hazardous materials (poisons, radioactive materials, etc.), materials with a disagreeable odor, matches, merchandise for resale, protruding articles, or any unsecured articles including those in plastic or paper bags are prohibited.

The blog will be going dark for a short time while I bus myself (sans corpses) to South Carolina for a wedding (not mine). Regular posting will resume on July 22nd.
