Hey Free Rangers,Apologies again for the uncharacteristically sporadic flow here, but I am getting my ace kicked from just about every conceivable angle these days. We’re into the dog days now, both out here in the sweltering concrete jungle and...

Hello Free Rangers, It seems like just yesterday that I wrote one of these. That’s because the last one went out on a very late Thursday, after skipping a week in the middle. I really try to have these land on Monday(s), every Monday, but the schedule has...

Hola Free Rangers,En route back from Kentucky, having tasted and selected barrels of 1792 Full Proof Bourbon and Sazerac Rye. And while if one can get an appointment, the barrel buying is good out here, it’s officially harder to get most Buffalo Trace products in...

 I Know Free Rangers,I know. I’m as disgusted with myself a… You know, I wrote this thing for this space that discussed two things that I always mock in crappy marketing and tedious conversations: the season and the weather (hence the aborted disgust). It was...
