So, it was a lovely day today in central Texas, and Austin in particular. It was my pleasure to pick up my BFF Melinda (from Longview) at the airport in anticipation of the TREPAC Committee Leadership meetings tomorrow and Wednesday. Melinda does not get a chance to see much of Austin when she is here for meetings (in and out, nobody gets hurt) so it was fun for me to give her the "So you're transferring here from Podunk?" tour of Austin. I like doing that, whenever I get to show transferees around the town, it is like I am getting the chance to see Austin with fresh baby eyes. Wonderful! We went to the board for a quick tour, then to some overlooks, Mount Bonnell, Mayfield Park (free-range peacocks), Laguna Gloria and then down the drag to her hotel. Dinner tonight and early crash, and then meetings tomorrow and Wednesday. I enjoy it all very much!Analogue - Noun: 1. something that is similar to something else 2. an organ similar in function to one another animal or plant but different in structure or origin. Seitan works as an analogue to meat in many vegetarian recipes.
Did You Know? The word analogue entered English from French in the 19th century and ultimately traces back to the Greek word logos, meaning "ratio." (The word analogy, which has been part of English since the 15th century, also descends from logos.) The noun analogue is sometimes spelled analog, particularly when it refers to a chemical compound that is structurally similar to another but slightly different in composition. Adding to the confusion, there is also an adjective spelled analog, which came into use in the 20th century. The adjective can refer to something that is analogous (as in "an analog part of an animal or plant"), but it is most often used to distinguish analog electronics from digital electronics (as in "an analog computer" or "an analog clock").
You are the best, Thank you
