Several readers (including one Ranter last Sunday) have suggested we counter the ever-popular Rants with “Raves.” These can be positive observations on life, gratitude for kind acts, appreciation for local businesses, workers or officials or notes on something that made you happy or gave you hope recently.

So, let’s try raving about our community. Send your Raves, in 25 words or less, to rant@timesfreepress.com or by mail to our office (address on page F3). Then check back here on Saturday, Feb. 7 for a special edition of The Rave.

But Ranters, don’t worry. The Rants will continue in the same place they always are in our Sunday Perspective section.
