  • Estonia 2017 (updated)

    George Rebane Yesterday we returned home from a two-week visit to Estonia with our grown daughters.  The trip was a long-anticipated odyssey to introduce them to the other half of their heritage, to let them see and walk in the places about which they have heard from their grandparents and me.  For Jo Ann and…

  • Stack & Pack Air Travel

    George Rebane This morning’s WSJ report (here) on how airlines are making economy class air travel even less inviting jogged some memories of a new concept that I’ve discussed with my technology development buddies over the years.  Maybe now that the uncomfortable version of stack/pack seating has become de rigueur, it’s time to again consider…

  • Administrivia – 25mar12

    George Rebane Dear Readers, I have returned from a two week sojourn to warmer climes.  Great times, many insights, and good conversations with new people, but lousy connectivity in the RV parks where we parked our little trailer – reliable wi-fi seems to be climbing the same slow ladder of availability that phones experienced a…

  • Adiministrivia – 13oct2011

    George Rebane Less than an hour ago we got our trailer parked (more or less) in its assigned spot.  We have returned from a trip on which I was consigned to the Black Hole of Connectivity.  I notice that the RR comment streams  have continued to grow with a dull roar from which my little…

  • Epiphany at Trinity

    George Rebane It was our first solo trip with our ‘new’ trailer.  Jo Ann and I got back from Trinity Lake yesterday afternoon after spending a few days under the trees at Pinewood Cove RV Park.  We are lifelong dirt campers, so talking us into upgrading to a starter trailer wasn’t all that difficult.  It…

  • Pleasant surprise on the long drive home

    George Rebane We got back this afternoon from a Christmas visit to our ‘Northern Tribe’ in the Seattle area.  The ‘Southern Tribe’ (from SoCal) was able to join in to make a big family get together with our kids and grandkids.  Jo Ann and I said our good-byes on Sunday morning and drove away into…

  • Fred and Margie’s Odyssey

    George Rebane Fred and Margie Buhler are established pillars of our community.  They volunteer and serve on boards, commissions, and organizations to the benefit of all who live here.  Recently they took a leave (here) from the Nevada County Friends of the Military, an organization they helped found, packed up their magnificent fifth-wheel, and headed overland…

  • Rome in two sturdy shoes (and days)

    George Rebane Our friends Tony and Paula arrived from Hong Kong in the middle of the night and were all set to go on the following morning.  We requested the hotel to set up a registered guide for us, and after a delightful and exhausting day, we all agreed that this is the way to…
