  • Proud grandparents brag about granddaughter

    George Rebane Well, it’s time to toot Elizabeth’s horn. Jo Ann and I attended the science and math graduation ceremony here at the Tucson campus of the University of Arizona to watch our granddaughter Elizabeth graduate with dual degrees in Neuro & Cognitive Science and Molecular & Cellular Biology (easy for me to say).  She…

  • Happy Thanksgiving

    Jo Ann and I wish all of our readers a happy Thanksgiving Day which we hope you are spending with people you love.  We give thanks that we can still give thanks in the manner of our choosing.

  • Ruminations – 4aug15 (updated 6aug15)

    George Rebane Progressives are the real opponents of change.  Contrary to their desperate message over the years, their very mindset is sclerotic when it comes to the change that matters in areas like entrepreneurship, invention, technology, economics, individual empowerment, and, of course, personal liberties.  Progressives' latest attempts to keep yesteryear in gear for everyone is their opposition to…

  • Zapping Drones

    George Rebane Recent reports of private drones being flown above active wildfires again makes me lose another dollop of faith in the brainpower of my fellow citizens.  Why anyone would want to endanger the fire attack spotters and tankers fighting the fire is beyond me.  So I started noodling on how to solve the problem. …

  • Happy 239th America!

    George Rebane As you again wish America a happy birthday, take a look at this rendition of ‘God Bless America’ led by John Wayne and all the show biz greats of 1970 some of whom get a mite choked up.

  • 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…

  • Ruminations – 30may15 (updated 2jun15)

    George Rebane Lowell Robinson RIP.  A sad email from a friend this morning reported the passing last night of Lowell Robinson, one of the giants of our community.  Lowell was the founder of what today we know as Robinson Enterprises, a multi-faceted business that has served Nevada County for decades.  He also put his money…

  • He is Risen!

    Happy Easter from our family to you and yours. George and Jo Ann

  • To What End Por Favor?

    George Rebane We are here in Scottsdale again attending the annual conference of the Mercatus Center and Institute for Humane Studies.  For the last several years it has been an annual event for us and friends to caravan down and enjoy a few days of exceedingly interesting presentations and workshops on economics and national issues. …

  • RR – no longer such an outlier

    To jog the understanding is a greater feat, than to jog the memory: for it takes more to make a man think, than to make him remember. …  Gracian #68 George Rebane When RR launched back in 2007 its purpose was to capture my and my readers’ views on humanity’s efforts to concurrently prepare for…
