    New Pictures of Jerry Garcia
    I am happy to say that in the soon to be released Treating Yourself issue # 19 that we have 2 never before published pictures of Jerry Garcia. 1 is of Jerry Garcia in Mickey’s Barn studio. He worked on the soundtrack to the film "Zabriskie’s Point" soundtrack. And the other 1 is of Steve Brown and Jerry Garcia at Golden Gate Bridge. The photo was taken by Jim Marshall during the Rolling Stone Magazine’s 10th Anniversary cover shoot.

    These "idiots" who are "governing" us should all get together and eat a big bag of mushrooms, maybe they'd wake up. And they should "legalize it" (pot) quickly so people who want real change can get in there and try to clean up their mess. Corporate Wall St. capitalism has run its course and is the Devil's best friend. There's about 20 years left until the 2000th anniversary of Jesus death and everythings looking right on track for his return by then, I'm not too optimistic about us turning this world around but ya gotta keep trying. The next 20 years will be the most important in human history. And I saw a new heavens, and a new earth Love, hope, charity, faith, and more lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove! and peace

    mindless lemings??
    anyone who thinks ANY politician has the right answers and blindly votes for them because of supposed change fits that description to a "t". you can't trust any of the money grubbing backstabbing lying cheating rotten nogood twofaced thieving bloodsucking bullcrap artists.......i'm still trying to figure out how, why, and when words like "liberal" and "conservative" became four-lettered. one means to share, the other to save some for later...both ideas have merit, fer crine outloud. I will say though that the government does not need to get any bigger...and it needs to get it's damn hands out of my pockets, i liberally share with those that need it, when i can, but i reserve the right to conserve for later.......(grumble....mutter.....^!*&$#@ politicians.....)

    Hey Lame O Gonzo :-)
    I believe in moderation and living within your means as well. What set me off was your use of Conservative talking points like "Great " and defending the Faux News Tea Bag movement. The tea baggers are not simply physcally responsible citizens that are "outraged" by overspending. They are mindless lemings who are following the commands of the right wingers in order to derail any meaningful legislation proposed by the Obama Administration. This includes fighting against green energy, stricter emisions for vehicles, polution controls and the corporatization of our economy and our military for that matter. The health care "debate" is not even discussing the issues. It is centered on lies and distortions. Anyway, this debate will not end any time soon. Peace - David

    Hey Grade A Deadhead
    Boros thinks I'm a communist and was redbaiting me, quoting Lenin and you think I'm a conservative. Actually, I'm neither. But I do go ballistic from time to time about about this stuff and usually my point is: The Repubs/Demos are two sides of the same coin and we need to throw out the small change. You ask me what I'm proposing? Nothing. I'm not running for anything. But I know you can't work from within this system to get meaningful change. You can see some of my posts in the Obama topic (if its still there). I also tend toward the ecological catastrophe looming on the immediate horizon. So, if I had a position, I'd be talking about how to decrease our lifestyle and use less plastic and stay the fuck out of our cars as much as possible. We need to stop living beyond our means in this country. As my previous post about the 'The Great Enabler' stated, Obama is just postponing the inevitable pain that is coming. At some point the Chinese and others will stop buying Treasuries and the dollar will no longer be the world's reserve currency (giving us many ways to manipulate how the US pays back those debts) and America will have to face the music OR JUST START PRINTING MONEY WITH NOTHING TO BACK IT UP. That will create pure inflation, triple digit stuff, very quickly. If we live on less maybe we will become responsible citizens of the world instead of the ruling class of an empire. We'll spend more time with our family, friends and neighbors and less time chasing a lifestyle that doesn't bring us any happiness. Making do with less doesn't mean you are less. ~ The work of his day measures more than the planting and growing ~ (Hope everybody is enjoying this year's crop under the harvest moon)

    Hey Lamogonzo..............
    Just like most "conservatives" , I am hearing no suggestions from you on how this mess should be handled. I hope you are not emplying that Obama created this recession. (I was laid off last August). I agree that the stimulus package is hard to swollow, but it does a hell of a lot more for our economy than Bushes blank check "refunds" he sent out. He may as well have burned the cash. Despite what those Tea Bag wacos would have you believe, these "bail outs" are not simply an open ended plan and the government is NOT trying to take over everything or put private companies out of business. In fact, some of the banks have already begun repaying the money. I heard that Bank of America is desperate to pay back Billions so they can be free of any government involvement. Cash for clunkers was a huge success and has stimulated the car industry. OK, don't get me started or I'll have to explain to you why the public option for healthcare is the only viable way we will create competition and lower prices. Put that in your tea pot and smoke it!

Ok so I'm sitting on the beach in Sea Isle City NJ today and went to eat a pretzel and out of nowhere a sea gull came from behind swooped down on my head reached around my face and stole the pretzel right out of my mouth...omg it scared the shit out of me, my friend said it had my hair in a mess in 1 second flat, it happened so fast I was in shock...hehe those nasty seagulls suck!!!At least it didn't shit on me :)

but did you get another pretzel? My sister-in-law's black lab, Elvis, once stole a perfectly prepared bratwurst for which I'd been patiently waiting all day. I had set it on an ottoman in front of me, was seating myself and then he snatched it! The worst part is he looked directly at me while he ate it - kinda like when the opposing team's player hits a home run and then poses at home plate. For seeking retribution: view Caddyshack. Bill Murray was trying to do away with gophers, but I'm sure some of his tactics could apply to seagull disposal. "Where does the time go?"

I was watering some young Colorado Blue Spruce trees yesterday and startled a large bird of prey, a Marsh Hawk, watching him wing off to the west. I walked over to where he went aloft and found a young rabbit with a hole in his side, just above the forearm, minus the heart!

Jersey gulls seem to be getting more and more aggressive these days. Reminds me of when I was a kid on vacation in NC. My brother and I were sitting on the beach and a seagull flew by and shit on his shoulder. My father was standing there, points at him and starts laughing hysterically. I look at my dad thinking thats not funny, thats disgusting. All of a sudden here comes another one and it shits right on top of my dads head. Now he's not laughing anymore, but I'm doubled over cause NOW its funny. They didn't get me but I was already taking cover.Lessons learned: #1 Don't laugh when someone gets shit on by a gull. If it hears you it will target you next. #2 DON'T FEED THE SEAGULLS. You are just giving them ammunition. (unless you enjoy being shit on). : )

Right on, iknowurider! Tommy Chong spent 9 months in a federal prison for his role in selling water pipes and bongs, via the internet. Blackmailed by US Attorney, Mary Beth Buchanan (Gestapo appointee of Herr Bush) Tommy's case was never heard in a real court of law because Buchanan threatened to prosecute his family members (son and wife) unless he accepted the government's terms, who were also part of his bong business. Tommy's house was raided and ransacked by federal goon agents that (imo) should have had other business than shaking down a peaceful head like Chong. This was the pivotal case that sent me away from the Republican Party and back into Never-Ever Land (politically). Good luck on your reunion tour, guys! I hope to catch a show myself.

Lately there has been an issue with black bears coming into the cities looking for something to eat. A few weeks ago a giant bear ran into a small grocery store and ransacked an aisle of various foods. The bear took off before the cops arrived, thus avoiding being killed. No one in the store was hurt. I think I would shit my pants if I were in a store and suddenly had a bear running past me.

recently i have neglected my duty of making completely random posts, so heres 1 to enjoy.and yeash i know this belongs in the stories section, but it wandered, cause the fence broke. once upon a time, my step mother and i had an argument over some stupid thing that made me very angry. i forget what it was, due to the ensuing hilarity, but i would guess it was about censoring my computer. later that day, when she was out, i walked up the street to the CVS and bought a bottle of nair. i came back home and put it in her shamoo bottle in their private bathroom. later that night, she proceeded to give our dogs a bath. apparently we had no doggie shampoo, so used hers. i think you can see where this is going. in the end, the dog looked like a shaved rat, but didnt care as it was summer, and enjoyed being cool. the incident was blamed by the vet on what they thought was an allergic reaction. needless to say, no one used the shampoo after that. I will admit that, though it was horrible, and i feel bad for the dog, it was hilarious. Peace, The Kid

Dylan Daze 2008: Three days. Three cities. Three shows. One Bob. Since I've gotten old and fully employed this is as close as I can come to following a tour around. It started out as an invitation to a friend of mine in Nashville to come up and see Dylan playing at a casino about thirty minutes from here in Indiana (I live in Louisville, KY). It's a Saturday show so I thought it would be easy to fit into work schedules. My friend looked at the tour schedule and said "sure I'll come up for it, but lets go to the show in Cincinnati the night before, and the show in Evansville the night after as well!" Cool! My friend is awesome, remind me to tell y'all about his first Deadish experience, and his discovery of archive.org. The roadtripping begins Aug. 22 at that whatchamacallit amphitheatre in Cincinnati (National City, I think, next to the big one that Buffet always sells out), then the Horseshoe (formerly Caesars') Casino in Elizabeth, Indiana on the 23rd, finally the Mesker Amphitheatre in Evansville, Indiana on Sunday the 24th. Sure hope it doesn't rain, I'm definitely too old to revert to "mud hippy". Other than that it should be more fun than a bald dog! Cheers, MitD

Dear folks:I received an almanac from Dead.net, a week or so ago, and noticed it was addressed to my sister at my Kansas address: she lives in Ohio. Is the mailing list tied-in with addresses pulled from merchandising orders? She ordered a Dick's Pick's as a gift and had it sent direct to me last December.... Previous almanacs did have my name and address correct, but it had been awhile since I'd seen one in the mailbox. Looking forward to the next one!

Here's something: I too received a GD Almanac. And two days later I received another one! Dead.net loves me two times, baby! (I'm guessing I'm listed twice in the Cosmic Database, I also get two copies of "official email list" messages). Here's something else: a short while ago I happened to be doing google searches for something or other, using the keywords "grateful dead", "moroni", "skeleton", maybe a couple of others. Scanning the list of sites that Google presented me with one caught my eye. It appears to be one of your more fundementalist Christian sites, and was basically talking trash about Mormons etc. For your amusement the link is: http://www.basicchristian.org/christian_mormon.html The following is a snippet that contains the keywords that got the page googled. Enjoy, and don't forget to vote! (I didn't see any copyright notices on the site, and believe that fair use provisions would allow this excerpt. I will understand if this post disappears, however. Hey, the Devil made me do it!) "The new Majority Leader for the United States Senate is now U.S. Senator Harry Reid {a loyal (LDS) Mormon} of Searchlight, Nevada. When Reid was being interviewed in his home by reporters, he took them into his bathroom and pointed to his most prized possession. It was an autographed poster of the Grateful Dead. (38) The Grateful Dead is a notorious hard rock band noted for their heavy drug cult following. They are a satanic group of the first magnitude, and their followers are referred to as deadheads. Their emblem is a skeleton wearing a tuxedo and top hat with the skull wearing sunglasses. It is true, our Senate Majority leader is a deadhead, and this may explain the residue of the two lines of white powder on the glass top of the table, where he was seated with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, sometimes referred to as "Nasty Pelosi.""

I just checked, and the paper version only went out to folks with U.S. addresses. However, the Almanac is also available as a downloadable PDF file on the page noted above http://www.dead.net/almanac so you don't have to miss out...
