The Sea Ranch Reader’s Unsolicited Advertisement For Fog Bottle Shop
About 3 months ago, the owner/proprietor of Fog Bottle Shop in Mendocino reached out and asked if we ran promoted content/advertisements for local businesses. We wish we could (the owner of Fog Bottle Shop clearly has great taste). But we can’t. You see, we use so much imagery without permission, we’d be in deep litigation…

It was one of those weeks on the Listserv where you just want to throw in the towel. Have you ever regretted saying something as you are actually saying it?

TSR Listserv Summary: Week of September 18th
There was an abundance of participation and generosity on the Listserv last week. Someone saw a “badger-like creature with a straight tail” in their yard and wrote that it was “never seen before.” Several other Listserv members were quick to reply, “do you really think you’re the first person to ever see a badger?” We…

The Sea Ranch Association Community Manager Prospectus: 1st Draft
Dear Everyone, We think there might have been some misunderstanding surrounding the Community Manager Prospectus that was shared on the TSRA website last week. The Sea Ranch Reader editors wrote it. The characterizations of “environmental idealists” and young, rich families that work in “tech” and have unrealistic expectations for living at The Sea Ranch were…

TSR Listerv Summary: Week of September 4th, 2022
Nobody argued on the TSR Listserv last week as much as they did the week before. Listserv members were in week 2 of discussing the pros and cons of commercial aircraft operations at The Sea Ranch airstrip.
