  • Back to Fort Sill in place and time

    George Rebane We got home yesterday afternoon from a visit to Ft Sill, OK and Denver, CO, a trip that also let us catch up with a lot of what’s happening in the country.  Ft Sill is the world’s preeminent artillery development and training center.  If you are an American cannon cocker or tactical missile…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Ruminations – 15nov14

    George Rebane Random thoughts on a Saturday morning.  The beautiful fall foliage on our trees is now on the back side of the power curve, but still saying ‘look at me’ as the last leaves drift to the ground.  At our house I make a big breakfast on Saturday morning.  It is always a panful…

  • Happy Mother’s Day

    George Rebane Ellen Rebane (1914 – 1990)

  • A Conservetarian Credo (updated 17dec16)

    George Rebane From time to time readers ask me questions about my ideology concerning this issue or that.  I believe I have answered almost all of those questions either in the 2,000+ posts on RR and/or marbled in the 42K+ comments that this forum has garnered.  However, since this is a place that attempts to…

  • ‘Geislingen DP Camp Years: 1945-49’

    George Rebane As I have been assembling sketches of my childhood European experience, I found myself avoiding the considerable time we spent in the Geislingen DP camp.  So much growing up happened there that I couldn’t seem to get my arms around the story that would do justice to the life and lives then lived. …

  • ‘They Can’t Take That Away from Me’ – 2013 style

    George Rebane [I’m not sure that much of this is comprehensible to younger generations, but many of us older people do hearken back to some grand years in the good old US of A.  Granted, time has worn off some of the rough edges.  Nevertheless, here’re some ramblings to mark another milestone that we pass…

  • Administrivia – taking leave of The Union

    George Rebane All good things must come to an end, and the addition of some new responsibilities required me to drop something.  On 4 December 2012 I sent the following email – titled ‘Rebane’s column, -86-‘  -  to The Union’s publisher and managing editor.  I appreciated their cordial replies, and now look forward to being…
