"If I want to dive, I haul 70 pounds of gear and 6-10 tanks down the
gangway to my buddy's boat and we enjoy a relaxing weekend at the island."

About The Usenet Project:
An "x" is drawn in the middle of a page of Don DeLillo's WHITE NOISE
(Penguin Classics Edition, 1999). The first three, sometimes four,
words (excluding articles and prepositions) that intersect the lines of
this "x" from its cross are fed into Google's Usenet index, which now
dates back to 1981. On even-numbered days, the most recent Google entry
is used, using Google's "sort by date" function." On odd-numbered days,
the first Google entry to appear is used, anything from 1981 to the
present. A new posting will be included every week -- an archive of
radiant rants, habits, and hobbies. Thanks to Bernadette Mayer's "X on
Page 50 at half inch intervals."
