not very original , I get it

The topic is word origins , as in the history of words
English is a polyglot language , and has always adopted words from other languages and cultures

REALTOR , is a coined expression. Back when , real estate agents or land brokers were busy selling lots to each other or defrauding the public ,  people who sold land and houses were often considered w/out ethics and shady.
Actual real estate agents were banding to - gether to produce a system where the public felt safe. ' realtor ' was formed from the expression ' real estate operator '. 

Weather : definitely unsettled and will remain that way for 2 days.

News and views : we will , now , for sure , lose a view of the 'bee.
The agreed sale ( to fishing friends ) is signed but not delivered or sealed w/ money. The latter two events will happen in the next 2 days.
Sad. Yes. But the truth is that we chose our time and our terms , and not everyone gets to be that lucky.
Will we celebrate , not sure -  " We shall see said the Zen Master "

Stay tuned for further news.
