  • Scattershots – 29jun15 (updated 30jun15)

    George Rebane Pot-based tourism in Nevada County is the topic of this week’s Union column by George Boardman whose comments are also often read on these pages.  This is a column full of thought provoking ideas, some obviously with tongue firmly planted in cheek.  But the gist of a TV series (‘High Country’) concerns local…

  • Sandbox – 28jun15

    [This is the first post-comment rules sandbox.  We await with bated breath … . gjr]

  • Administrivia – A Requiem for Mudballs

    George Rebane Since its launch in 2007, RR has had an open, seldom mediated comments policy since I did not want this forum to become an echo chamber for near-conservatarian sentiments.  The blog’s purpose was to record my thoughts and observations about these eventful and fin de siècle years for humanity on this planet, and…

  • The Tangled Threads of Our Times

    George Rebane Given the 25jun15 SCOTUS ruling on ACA, I had to rush off a post on it since RR's readership will not sit idly by and let an occasion like this pass without extensive discussion and debate.  And this happening may even fit into these thoughts that I’ll try to weave together on equally…

  • Sandbox – 25jun15

    [The last sandbox seemed to have exhausted its old threads and its ability to launch new threads.  One can always tell that a sandbox is overfilled when the mudball density goes up.  I very much enjoyed the exchange on national healthcare issues and alternatives.  Although, I still didn’t see any appreciation from the Left that their vaunted…

  • The really supreme Supreme Court (updated 27jun15)

    George Rebane Another dark day in the history of our Republic.  Obamacare (aka ACA) has survived its second encounter with SCOTUS.  In spite of the clear intent of Congress to goad states to get into the healthcare business; in spite of progressives in Congress intending the secretly composed and hastily passed healthcare law to promote…

  • Scattershots – 22jun15 (updated 27jun15)

    George Rebane Economic development in Nevada County must address what many of us see as the three legs of the county’s existing economy – IT based industry, tourism, and retirees.  Absent public service employees, these are the three main cash importers.  There are initiatives in place to attract more IT companies through increased broadband availability…

  • Sandbox – 21jun15

    [I am writing this moments from when the earth's northern hemisphere tilts maximally in its summer nod to the sun.  And it's also Father's Day, a day when our young'uns take notice and tell us they really did appreciate our being around as they were growing up.  I've always thought of Father's Day as being a…

  • Caudaphobia – The Tragedy of the Tails

    George Rebane [This post is long overdue, and was motivated by a discussion with a reader in the ‘Sandbox – 17jun15’ comment stream.  These ideas date from the mid-nineties and were included in my lecture series on Numeracy delivered in 2005-6 at the Nevada County's Madelyn Helling Library.  A more portable (readable?) version of this…

  • Sandbox – 17jun15

    [Apologies for getting a little pissed in the 'Agnosticism vs Atheism' comment stream.  Here's a new sandbox, the old one was getting more than full.  gjr]
