Howdy Free Rangers, Time continues to have less and less meaning as a parameter of modern life, as we collectively careen toward the singularity… unless we really are living in a simulation. Is it really so far fetched? It’s pretty weird out there these...

Hey Free Rangers,Wow, crazy response to that last wine offer, sold out in record time, and I’m working on another such tiered mystery type thing in the medium/near future. That was a lot of fun (and a lot of work), and lessons were learned. After thinking...

Hello Free Rangers,I know I set myself up for this by saying that the new year didn’t begin until the 20th of January, but that month that just happened was the quickest running in at least four years. I just triple checked, it’s still a full 31 days. I’m not a...

Hey Free Rangers,Thanks to all of you who are apparently drinking almost as much as I am, and have kept us going through an unprecedented and in all ways trying year. We really can’t thank you enough. The number of people I know who own and operate profitable small...

Howdy Free Rangers,The longest shortest year of our lives is winding down, as peacefully as a super nova becomes a black hole. A shocking number of elected officials are play acting at overthrowing a decided federal election, and scorching, as much Earth...

Greetings Free Rangers,Few things make us appreciate our loyal regulars more than a torrent of holiday shoppers. There is a certain breed of booze buyer who only purchases such things around the traditional American Judeo-Christian holiday season, and they love...
