Usage examples of dak.

But the inspiration that made it practical came to me while I was walking with my friend Dak through a railroad freight yard in my hometown of Daytona.

We listened to the rain some more, and Dak tossed another rock, which made the drum ring like a gong.

I jumped down from the high tailgate, raced around the pickup, and was just in time to see Dak and Alicia straightening and pulling up their pants.

I gave Dak a shove and he was laughing so hard he simply fell over onto the sand.

Alicia had more of what I would call a belly laugh, and she was not in much better shape than Dak, leaning against the truck, holding her pants up with one hand.

I showed her the flatscreen, thumbed the backup button until I had the image Dak had pirated into the NASA data stream.

Cuban gangbangers in immaculate low-riders, not an easy group to impress, had been known to drive into ditches in amazement when Dak rocketed past.

You could cook and eat your dinner right off the engine block, assuming Dak would ever let you do such a messy thing to his baby.

Then Alicia played keep-away with her flashlight for a moment until Dak and I overpowered her.

There are several things about the Autopike that just rub Dak the wrong way.

We could barely afford the thirty-year-old Mercury that Dak and I were always rescuing from a one-way trip to the junkyard.

WAS OUR interest in going into space that had brought me and Dak together.

After twelve years of that kind of schooling, both Dak and I thought we knew how to study.

AFTER WE DELIVERED Travis Broussard to his odd little friend, Dak dropped me off, alone, a little after midnight in the quiet Blast-Off parking lot.
