Ya Know Free Rangers, Having the words is never the issue. It’s finding the time and space such that the notions achieve escape velocity from the gravity of it all. This is becoming the chore. And as chores are by definition time consuming, how does one manipulate...

Whoa Free Rangers, Way behind this week. More than usual. We just lost two days to insane connectivity issues- two real two steps back kind of days- but seems to be back up and running now. Though we lost all of our Sonos playlists. Holy cr@p, that’s bad software, but...

Well Free Rangers, The middle tier of our industry is crumbling, making what should be very basic transactions and interactions time consuming nightmares. I genuinely don’t recall the last time we ordered products, they arrived intact and on time, with no erroneous...

Hey Free Rangers, Re: the Neal Kvetch saga, after leaving his 1-star review, he came back in, but it was only to get my name right in his bitchy little review (there's a screen grab of the original in which he confidently calls me, Mark), and to show us that he bought...

Hey Free Rangers, Pretty sure the guy who just huffed out of here is on his way home to write a negative review, so I’ll just formulate my response here, and then adjust the next draft according to his own for the interwebs. We shall see. So, it’s 5pm on the dot on...

Holy Hell Free Rangers, As most of you know, besides our love for dogs in here, we are also vocal and active proponents of planting and greening projects, which are literally good for everybody (as plants help clean the air). Half the fun of buying full barrels of...

Hola Free Rangers, Sorry for the late note this week, it’s been a _____ one (wrong answers only (which are likely all to be factually accurate)). I could spend the next 6 weeks’ e-mails on just the week before the hand chomp (and the next six on the banality of insult...

Damn Free Rangers, That week kicked my ass. Didn’t really expect to be writing this next note from the emergency room, but here we are. It’s been a rough year for my right hand. This was apostrophized when the terminally handsome ER triage nurse recognized me, and...
