2019 - Day 345/20 - Wednesday...Disaffected...

I spent most of the day at the Texas REALTORS® office, and only did stupid stuff two or three times. It will all work out, everybody was still breathing when I left. A great new pledge class of TREPAC Trustees, and they are going to do great things. It was a nice day in Austin, I think the temperature made it into the 50s. Even thought there was a threat of freezing temperatures over night last night, it only went down to 41 according to all the electronic weather stations we have. I have always said that this particular piece of the edge of nowhere is in a high spot, so we always stay a little bit warmer than other areas in the winter. While I was at the board office, I took advantage of the chance to get a shot of the Capitol from the association office...not too shabby!

Disaffected -- Adjective. discontented and resentful especially against authority. rebellious. As a former juvenile probation officer, the novelist was well versed in the voices and frustrations of disaffected youth.

Did You Know? When we speak of the disaffected, we usually mean those whose affection or loyalty has been undermined, such as citizens disillusioned with their government ("disaffected voters"), disgruntled employees ("disaffected former CIA agents"), or kids in revolt against their parents ("disaffected teenagers"). The word, which derives from affection, thus denotes unrest, discontent, or rebellion.
