    When it rains, it pours. Glad you are back. Too bad about all of this. I am sure you are a stronger person after this.

    Critter is Back, Dejected but here
    Unreal...I just got back from county jail. I missed the whole tour, my family (you), the Boyz, almost lost my true love, and my mother went into the hospital. Could be TMI, but I don't care. Sherrif's On My Trail... May 1st, get pulled over for my license plate light being out...Had a warrant from Cook County for not paying $110 for a prior DUI 2003....they take me to jail in DuPage County (Illinois). As we are driving cop says do you know you have a warrant in California from 1996 (my drug years)? I said Yes, I've been arrested before and they never do anything about it because it's so small. Spend the night in jail, next morning I get my bail hearing...judge asks can you come up with the bail, looking at my girlfriend and mom in the courtroom, I said yes (he doesn't appoint me a lawyer). An hour later they let me have my clothes back and possessions while I'm in the "holding cell" because I was bailed out. I can see my mom/girlfriend in the window paying the bail. Waited for another 30 minutes, then the officer comes and says come with me, and takes me to where they put the orange jumpsuit on....What? You have a hold in California...I said I've been arrested here in DuPage 2 times before and they have never said they were going to extradite me for a misdemeanor. Well we can't do anything about that he says and they put me in jail. The Grass is always greener either side of the hill.... Seriously? So I'm in jail waiting for Monday so they release the hold when they figure it out...this is Monday May 3rd mind you...so the worst thing happens. My mom goes Manic (Severe Bi-Polar Manic Depression to the delusional style) and goes into the hospital (because the police 5150'd her) Sunday. I've been taking care of her for 10 years for this while my only other sibling is in California and usually I'm there to help. Busted down in New Orleans (Chicago).... So the only one who could bail me out is in the mental ward....by this time my true love hates me because I lied and didn't tell her about my warrant. Since I have no lawyer appointed I can't speak to anyone. You can't call cell phones from jail....boy I wish. Usually I can help the Doctors with my mom's medicine and state and give them info on how to get her out of there in at most a week. Well, they take her off Abilfy and totally screw up her meds....this leads to her being in the ward for 24 days....I didn't know anything except for what my Dad told me....you deserve this. Finally I have my court date, and they let me go for time served (we're talking 3 days, I spent 31 days!) So I'm in jail for a month for what I should have been in for only 3 days because I wasn't appointed a lawyer and didn't have access to my money the very little I have. Rich Man Stepped On My Poor Head.... I'm still the same man I've been when I left the rich. Of course, my father wouldn't help me out, why? because I am not a snob, giving into the arrogance of money. I won't tell you that when you have money, you can pay off the system, because you can. You can even get out of murder (OJ Simpson), but I'm still happy I didn't and haven't ever gave in to that mentality. There are good rich people, just a minute few. Most people would think that because I grew up that way I would have gave in and gotten out of jail. NO WAY. I Need A Miracle.... So imagine this, you've been dying to see the one band that makes you smile, smile, smile since January 1st, 2009....and your tickets are sitting in your drawer at home....and your in jail. I was dying while I was in there Tuesday May 4th, looking out a barred window thinking about what are they playing? At least I could have miracled someone>what a waste...I was mad at not seeing them, but at least I could have given them away. Second day, I had tickets, (and the opportunity for luxery box seats), yet again, couldn't do anything for anyone. It was killing me. $400 worth of tickets down the drain..... They Love Each Other.... Luckily I'd told my true love (Trish) where the tickets were before. She had given Tues. to her little brother....Life Changing Experience for the 21 yr. old so I'm told by more than one. The next day he talks her into going (first shows for both, except when I took Trish to Ratdog) and they couldn't believe the love. Both of them had been listening to the band for awhile but never experienced a live show with the Dead! Since I've been out, my True Love has forgiven me for not telling her the total truth about everything (not totally but she understands). Let it Grow.... Hopefully this long winded story has told you that I've screwed up alot in my life....yet I've truly been a better person for being honest and letting it out. I'm still paying for the crap in the past...so be it....I changed along time ago, but I still have to pay the terriff! Obviously this is a long story, but I had to be truthful to you all. I missed my favorite band. I love you all. ~love~ Canyon Critter _____________________________________________ Will you come with me?

To say that it has been a long week in my household is an understatement. After a much longer wait than we would have liked we found out that the pathology results on my son were clear of all cancerous/precancerous cells. My wife and I are incredibly relieved at this point. Thank you to everyone who sent prayers and positive vibes our way. I know that the warmth and support you have shown towards me and my family will come back to all of you. Though I am Christian, I firmly believe in Karma, and that is why I know each of you will be blessed for the kindness you have shown to me and mine. Again, thank you.McB "...the powerful plays goes on, and you may contribute a verse" -Walt Whitman-

Certainly great news for McB and family. My experience today: I hadn't had any type of surgery since kindergarten when my tonsils were yanked. The operation today was like a finely-tuned assembly line from the receptionist to the wheelchair trip out the door 3 hours later. As the anesthetist wheeled me into the op room, I swear some guy in fishnets and a nurse with begonias, tucked into her curls, went twirling past me!! I'm thankful to all who expressed good wishes. With Love & Peace!! >> Gr8fulTed

peace through musicHi and positive Love vibes to all in need and not in need. Cause " all you need is Love". My 30 year old son Norman is in the hospital in a coma and on a ventilator for the last week needs your prayers and positive vibes right now. He has been to over 400 Grateful Dead shows when he was younger and he is like a big teddy bear. And he is so full of love and kindness, whenever someone was ill and he would pray for them, well he seemed to have a hotline. I haven't had a chance to be home to write but much love to all and Happy Grateful Thanksgiving Day.

& all those in need of Positive Vibes :) Marshun ~ Your family's journey to not only hear your daughter speak but to be there for every emotion through the years is so moving to me that I've wanted to reply for days & just cant find the right words. So really, it makes me proud to know that there are those who fight for things I never even consider, when it seems everyone around them lets life get in the way :) PEACE to You & YOURS! Happy thanksgiving

Thankful be-well, get-well peaceful vibes for Norman, and a big hug for you, Kid. Poor puppy!!Wish her the strongest love and cancer-fighting vibes I can. Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Hope we can all take a moment or two to think about what we are thankful for- all of our blessings, amongst all of this woe and chaos. Extra especially thankful for Deadnet people and marye today; because without them, we wouldn't have this media to connect with each other. ********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

Terrorism in Mumbai, including @ Taj Mahal, have left lots of people & hostages dead. Indian commandoes, possibly w Israeli help, have gone after the terrorists to try and stop them and free remaining hostages. (Mumbai is also known as Bombay). not quite sure how to define the terrorists, although Pakistani/Islamic influence has been suggested, with main targets being Brits, Americans, Jews.... according to news I've read.

not the Taj Mahal, from what I could tell on TV. Pretty horrible scene, though one of the things that's coming out in the interviews with locals is that there are terrorist attacks by the boatload there and this one just happens to be a lot more grandiose.

unfortunately India has had A LOT of terror attacks in recent years. and this one was not at the Taj Mahal Palace in Agra like mary said. One of the luxury hotels in Mumbai, a historic place, was named the Taj Mahal Hotel or Taj Hotel. Plenty of places are named Taj something all over India. This shit happened in Bombay, now known as Mumbai, as Ted pointed out. Mumbai is the richest Indian city and their center of commerce, like their Wall Street is there. YES, it has been reported that the terrorists were asking people to identify their citizenship, and seemed to be targeting Americans and Brits, clearly with the attack on the Jewish center in Mumbai, they also were targeting Jewish people. This leads me to think think is some kind of pan-Islamic attack; They also shot up the train station which is primarily locals. Some cafe frequented by back-packers was also hit, as well as the luxury hotels. This may be the first case of terror in India that was, partly, clearly directed at westerners. another side problem is that this attack may be 'blamed' on Pakistan (true or not) and stir up more bullshit between them over Kashmir. There have been suggestions at some link with that, though... they caught at least one gunman, so hopefully they will get some 'intelligence' out of him. When asked what country are you from? I ALWAYS answer Darkstar. no joke. ++++ vibes for all folks over there, their families, and friends.

if more people actually gave a F? Here's one maybe you didn't see coming. Mucho positive vibes to intolerant morons the world over who fail to see the inherent idiocy in attempting to violently inflict their religious beliefs on others, that their eyes and minds might be opened, and they learn to grant to others the respect they seek for themselves. Peace and tolerance are not the goal, they are the way. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

or is it hear,hear?? i'll send some of those type vibes out ! now back to that "F"... what could be more positive than a GOOD "F"? and if everyone got one, then gave one back maybe it could start a movement. and if everyone was busy getting and giving than there really wouldn't be time for the aforementioned "inherent idiocy"now would there!

IS "K" whats that spell, what's that spell, Well c'mon all you big strong men another country got it's self in a terrible jam, just over near the other stans. So put down your books and pick up a gun we're gonna have a whole lot of fun And it's 1-2-3 what are we fighting for. Well anyway that tune goes through my head regularly and I ad-lib to whatever the sit is. We have made alot progress on the global war on terrorism. But as we all see it is not over and may never because of idiotic fanatics. And as we see no one is immune. Maybe that's the problem they don't F enough. Everyday I read the star's and stripes and shake my head to all the dumb shit the world over, like people dying at wal-mart being trampled and womens child lost to injury, to morans shoot each other in toy store WTF is going on. The India deal and here in Iraq the average is 2 american deaths per day. Sometimes man I just want to go away to the moutains and say fuck it, I did my part and isolate myself from society and only relate with animals trees and well of course deadheads. But that really wouldn't be a way to still give hope and peace to others after I have put down my rifle. Would kinda be like quitting. Anyway heres some positve vibes to all to look out for each other no matter who it is. Most of us know that just a little love and light goes a long way. Everywhere is freaks and hairies Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity Tax the rich, feed the poor Till there are no rich no more Id love to change the world But I dont know what to do So Ill leave it up to you Population keeps on breeding Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy Life is funny, skies are sunny Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly Id love to change the world But I dont know what to do So Ill leave it up to you World pollution, theres no solution Institution, electrocution Just black and white, rich or poor Them and us, stop the war Id love to change the world But I dont know what to do So Ill leave it up to you
