Longtime TWC readers (or at least anyone who has been checking in regularly in 2005) will remember that there was a good month or two when Wetass production was, err, substandard, lame, sporadic and downright disappointing. Well, the reason is that I was off doing some real work for a change. And that work--a lengthy feature on the amazing tale of deep cave diver Dave Shaw--has just hit the newstands in the August issue of Outside. So if you have $5 and a quiet hour, lay your hands on a copy and settle back for what I hope is an amazing tale. ABC's Nightline will air a program on the story sometime soon (probably this week, probably Friday), if they can tear themselves away from the media obssession with Karl Rove, Hurricane Dud Denny, and the future of the Supreme Court (okay, I admit this last one is important). I'll post the date as soon as I know it myself...
