Yup Free Rangers, It’s a FREE vertical Barolo tasting! This one was originally scheduled a few weeks back, a coupla days before some Hallmark holiday, but fell prey to another non-pocalypse. Was supposed to be a snowicane or a sharknado or locusts or something....

Wow Free Rangers, Days late with the communications again! Sorry about that. But if this one is going to get out at all ahead of this week's free in-store tasting, it’ll be torn with a dull cleaver, leaking only fleeting streaks of the usual sound and fury. All will...

Whoa Free Rangers, Oh the tales could be spun had more REM cycles occurred to this weary cranium, and fewer gremlins were in fevered pursuit on this trail. While Derek’s heroic efforts to keep this unruly beast tuned to a single metronome have been noteworthy, this...

Hello Free Rangers, Bit of housekeeping this week. Which is fine, as the paragraph that was previously accreting for this space sucks. So, we have two separate systems here at Free Range: the online system for the website and the in-store POS (Point of Sale, for those...

Hola Free Rangers, What goes here, in this space… again? Whose words these are I think I know. Piles of fragments, dormant prompts, and moderately clever word usements previously structured luckily lurk in open files nestled in the same application that currently...

Salutations Free Rangers, First, any local shop area folks want a 55 gallon bourbon barrel (empty) for use in the garden, as grill wood, or for an art/design project, and can pick it up this week? Re: here, say so, and it's yours. Strange days. The space-time...

Ya Know Free Rangers, We’ve experimented with extended opening and closing hours a number of times, going deep back into the Before Times, and our new home on this bright visible corner on historic Atlantic Ave (with our sad temporary vinyl signage) has sparked these...

Wow Free Rangers, This time it was a “local guide” on Google. It’s difficult to tell from the review, which is fairly hollow and fact free, but given the timing and that we had a grand total of one negative interaction that day, it was very likely the jackass who...

Ya Know Free Rangers, I don’t always handle things so well. No, it’s true. Just look at this. I shred every non-fiction writer I see for using too many ‘I’s, and here are four in two lines, and one right at the freakin’ front. There’s always a better way to convey the...
