Press: Slugs avoid the slow lane - HC

Slugs avoid the slow lane - Houston Chronicle: "These aren't your typical hitchhikers. They carry laptops. They wear neckties, pink suits with heels. They have iPod headphone cords sprouting from their ears.

And, in a few Houston suburbs, they're a precious commodity. Instead of offering their thumbs, they offer their bums, in your car seat, so you can achieve the 'high occupancy' that lets you breeze down the Interstate 10 HOV in rush-hour traffic."
