IDAHO - Idaho authorities say a mother and daughter were arrested for drunken driving within an hour of each other -- the mother when she went to pick up her daughter's dog. The Post Register reports a sheriff's officer stopped 28-year-old Alisha Gardner at 10:56 p.m. Saturday in Idaho Falls after spotting her car swerving and crossing the centerline. Sgt. Jeff Edwards says her blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit, so Gardner was taken to jail. Just under an hour later, 51-year-old Diana Gardner arrived to pick up her daughter's dog, which was in the car. An officer smelled alcohol on her and a test revealed that her blood-alcohol level was also twice the legal limit, so she was arrested. The report did not say what happened to the dog.

Nice family.  But let's face it, they live in Idaho.  I've been to Idaho.  Idaho would make me drink like a fish all day every day too.  So here's the solution - sober up for a couple of days in the drunk tank, pack up your stuff and get the hell out of Idaho.  And please, don't forget the dog.  Pay attention!

I think what we have here is a lesson learned.  Well played, Dad, well played.
