  • Thanksgiving 2022

    George Rebane In spite of it all dear readers and RR regulars, we still have so much to be thankful for.  Jo Ann and I wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving, and may you be blessed to share it with those you love.

  • Scattershots – 18aug22 (update 21aug22)

    George Rebane Dear People, we are back from our travels and almost recovered.  Driving endless miles across the country's western deserts and highlands is not recommended for maintaining mental health.  Besides, being on travel is greatly over-promoted.  But everything worked out well; Jo Ann’s new van performed beautifully, and we had a great time with…

  • Happy Independence Day 2022!

    George Rebane Think of all the things that have happened in and to our beloved Republic during the last twelve months since we last celebrated our country’s birthday.  In this interval the country has again grown more apart than it has been since our 19th century’s ante-bellum days.  The two sides seek markedly different futures…

  • He is Risen!

    George Rebane Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’ For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud;…

  • What is truth?

    George Rebane Contrary to common wisdom, in addition to your opinions you can also have your own facts, history, science, logic, sense of justice, fairness, equity, evil, beauty, and, of course, truth.  Rebane Doctrine Two friends of ours tackled the notion of ‘truth’ in recent issues of The Union.  Jan Tannarome (‘Facts vs Beliefs’) and…

  • Ideology and a nitpick with VDH

    George Rebane Readers know that I am a longtime admirer and student of Victor Davis Hanson.  I have met him and spent time talking with him (here).  But when he writes ‘Why Ideology is the Ancient Enemy of Civilization’, I have to pick a nit with him because there he uses a too narrow of…

  • Walk or Run in the Rain?

    George Rebane Time for little respite from matters political and geo-strategic.  Years ago I came up with a TechTest problem that asked if there were an optimal speed that minimized the amount of rain coming through the area of a car’s missing windshield.  A few days ago I ran into another form of this problem…

  • Christmas – 2021

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Matthew 1:23 George Rebane [This Christmas message first appeared here in 2019 and was repeated last year.  It still bears repeating.] Another tumultuous year is ending with celebrations…

  • Thanksgiving 2021

    George Rebane In spite of it all dear readers and RR regulars, we still have so much to be thankful for.  Jo Ann and I wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving, and may you be blessed to share it with those you love.

  • River Fire Reflections

    George Rebane Kudos to Yubanet.com for being the most heads up and informative website for wildfire information.  At the same time, government falls short of its function as is apparent to anyone visiting mynevadacounty.com.  Starting yesterday (4aug21) afternoon, all of us in western Nevada County have been on tenterhooks watching the River Fire started by…
