Jerry Garcia and Ian Samwell à côté du Chateau d'Hérouville en 1971.

I don't think that I had ever seen that pic of Jerry before. I quite like it. What a fantastic day NOT to be at work Got to hang out with the kids, do some gardening, listen to some Jerry, clean up the pool. Summer is just about here!! Gotta get those daytime temps consistently over 20C min )

If it ain't god's will, it must be satan's. NEVER blame yerself!: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4820131.html May 20, 2007, 1:10PM Mom blames Satan for burning baby in microwave GALVESTON — A woman blames the devil and not her husband for severely burning their infant daughter after the 2-month-old was put in a microwave, a Houston television station reported. Eva Marie Mauldin said Satan compelled her 19-year-old husband, Joshua Royce Mauldin, to microwave their daughter May 10 because the devil disapproved of Joshua's efforts to become a preacher. "Satan saw my husband as a threat. Satan attacked him because he saw (Joshua) as a threat," Eva Mauldin told Houston television station KHOU-TV. A Galveston County grand jury indicted Joshua Mauldin last week on child injury charges after hearing evidence that he placed his daughter in a motel microwave for 10 to 20 seconds. The infant, Ana Marie, remains hospitalized. She suffered burns on the left side of her face and to her left hand, police said. Eva Marie Mauldin, the girl's 20-year-old mother, told the television station that her husband is "not the monster people are making him out to be." "That was not my husband; my husband is a wonderful father," she said. "Satan was working through his weaknesses." Eva Maudlin described those weaknesses as an undisclosed mental disability, and that her efforts to get help for him have failed. Police said Joshua Mauldin told them he put Ana Marie in the microwave because he was under stress. The family had arrived in Galveston the day before. Eva Maudlin, who met her husband in an Arkansas church, denied those claims by police. "He would never do anything to hurt her. He loves her," she said. "When she cries he is the one who comforts her. When she is sick, he is the one that takes her to the doctor." Joshua Mauldin, of Warren, Ark., came to Galveston with his wife and mother because he was called to be a preacher, his wife said. While Joshua Mauldin's mother has returned to Arkansas, Eva Mauldin remains in Galveston. She is hoping to be reunited with her daughter, but Child Protective Services is working to have her and Joshua Mauldin's parental rights severed. A custody hearing for the infant is scheduled for later this week in a Galveston district court. Joshua Mauldin faces a charge of injury to a child causing serious bodily harm, which carries a possible prison term of five to 99 years, as well as a fine of up to $10,000. Eva Mauldin has set up a MySpace page, "Joshua Mauldin is not a Monster," in hopes of defending her husband and making pleas for people to help her.

Ducks v Wings yesterday was HOT. Both these teams are rippin' it up and playing great. Lots of heavy hitting and speed too. I think that they are very evenly matched and both have solid goaltending (even though i despise Hasek ) Game 6 should be a doozy. I'm looking forward to a Ducks v. Sens final (best matchup IMHO) Back to the sunshine and outdoors ...

Sunny skies + Jerry Garcia music + day off work = bliss

Pure shit! Didn't rank in the Top 10 the other day. I'm sure they'll improve for the finals ... a bit. I can get accurate numbers at work on Tuesday

That was a great game. Lots of action and a fitting finish having it go to overtime. In the long run, I'm sure that the Sens will be glad for the extra time being in this series. Not so many days off, a bit of a reality check to not let their guard down, and still enough time to get completely prepared for the finals. Let's see who's going to make it out of the West. That series has gotten it's legs now and pretty damn heated up! Congrats for the win and the chance to play in the Stanley Cup Finals!

In case you're interested, i just got a note from the Town Ballroom in Buffalo. Looks like Social Distortion will be playing there and they haven't done much advertising yet. Here's the scoop:

How about something plain, simple, and with a couple of meanings : "Baked" or "Freshly Baked" or "Bagu'eh'te" or "Pierre le Pain's Fresh Breads" (kinda like a French Peter Pan, but with the "pain" meaning bread en francais?)

Whaddaya Knead? Buns Buns Buns

I'm planning on getting hooked very soon. I have to get a few other shows off the friggin' PVR first. I still haven't finished this season of Weeds. I'm about 14 shows behind in 24. Summer, rainy day, viewing is going to consist of: Heroes Sopranos (Seasons 5&6) Rome (Seasons 1&2) a bunch of movies and docs too

That's the wrong "Bobby" Baj ... his b-day is on October 16th I believe the "Bobby" in question is the mighty Mr. Zimmerman:

free Doors tickets Friday at the Nokia Saw this posted elsewhere. I just tried, and it does work. The price is right Looks like Brett Scallions is their new singer http://www.raymanzarek.us/rots.html http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/00003E8A9A168607?brand=aeglive If you put in the password "riders" under special promotions you should be able to get up to 6 free tickets for this show... It's "Riders on the Storm" featuring Ray Manzarek & Robbie Krieger... It's this Friday at the Nokia in NYC...

And now, for something completely different. It looks like this came out prior to the game the other night: AMBER ALERT in Buffalo WE ARE URGENTLY LOOKING FOR A GROUP OF 20 HOCKEY PLAYERS,BELIEVED TO HAVE DISAPPEARED BETWEEN THE 2ND AND 3RD ROUND OF THE NHL EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS. LAST SPOTTING WAS IN NEW YORK CITY ON MAY 6TH. LEADER GOES BY THE NAME "DANNY". THE GROUP CONSISTS OF A BUNCH OF MULTI-NATIONALS...IT IS BELIEVED THAT THEY ALL UNDERSTAND ENGLISH...BUT YOU NEVER KNOW!!! WE EXPECT THEM TO BE IN FINE PHYSICAL CONDITION BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T HIT ANYTHING IN WEEKS!!! IF ANYONE KNOWS THEIR WHEREABOUTS, PLEASE ADVISE THE BUFFALO SABRES HOME OFFICE...THEY MUST BE FOUND BEFORE 7PM WEDNESDAY, AND FLOWN TO OTTAWA BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!! IF FOUND, THERE IS STILL THAT SLIGHT CHANCE FOR 4 IN A ROW!

They should definitely treat that woman to some kindness. Hell, they should be setting her up with VIP treatment at the game tomorrow IN Buffalo. It's good to know that most level-headed fans see that behaviour like those cowards that did this should not be tolerated. I also like the fact that it was a bunch of hometown fans that held those two fuckers down until the cops got there.

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of eldeberry.

Trust me, I was tempted. Darlene laughed when I told her it was perfect ... a 420 BBQ!! However, I was able to get a really good deal on a previous year's model (which has some better made components) and it's name suits be fine too: the Weber GENESIS <--- gotta love the old Genesis It's a natural gas model too, so I won't be running out of propane in the middle of cooking a heavenly steak. Now i'm freakin' hungry! I miss my bbq

LOL ... that is funny Thanks.

Thank you sir. Which "gib" are you talking about? I believe you meant "jib" ... i used to sail a lot so I'm just jabbing ya . I guess that means I was giving you a "jib jab". The Gee Gees would give you more of a Jive Talkin' jab I suppose. Fuck i wish i wasn't at work and i was at home with my beer fridge and brand new Weber bbq

This dude's got a sense of humour. Check out his arm stub tattoo!!!

Somebody had a photobook online of at least 500 photos from the last one. They all looked like everyone was having a fun time and the bands too.

Baj, at this show, I say we just go downstairs, say high to the guys in the band since the dressing room is down there, get invited in, and enjoy a few beers and a peaceful "smoking room"

I got a reply from my email that I sent in yesterday. They said to simple give them names/numbers/emails for anyone who wants to do it. I don't know how many they want in total, but the sooner the names go in the better. It should be a fun event. I've seen postings for this around here every year and I have never done it. Now that I sold out and bought a couple of suits, I actually have a wardrobe that I can wear to the event . Who else is up for NHL, award show, being a sharp dressed man, and getting hammered with some crazy hockey players? Hey, I'm more than happy to post content here. I try to get relevant stuff up when I find it, along with some of the funny shit too.

LOL ... i get ya. I totally appreciate the dogsitting contact, Thank You. I haven't been over to the SPCA facility, but I should one of these days. If/when we ever have to get a new dog, that is the kind of place I'd go to get one.
