late 13c., stacioun, “a place one normally occupies”<\/p>\n
from Old French stacion, estacion “site, location; station of the Cross; stop” <\/p>\n

related to stare “to stand,” from PIE root *sta- “to stand, make or be firm”<\/p>\n
The first powered station wagons were custom-built Model T, a car with enough space in the rear to bring several people and their luggage from the train station<\/em> to their country estate and back again. While we started calling them station wagons, the British referred to them, and still do, as an estate car.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The old RME feels like more of a wagon than either. Historically I would not think of that as a Cool thing. <\/p>\n

It’s no problem for me to move away from the idea of an estate, or even a Home. <\/p>\n
However, I don’t think settling for only<\/em> camps quite works for me either. <\/p>\n
Sanctuary is still the thing, and having it anywhere is still the ideal. <\/p>\n
It might well be that all stations are created equal, and still be true that some are more equal than others. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
