Blimp Photo & Blimp Story
Above is the Outback Steakhouse blimp.
This blimp was at Cincinnati’s Lunken Airport last November.
This allows me to tell my Cincinnati blimp story.
Maybe 15 years ago, when I was working for a Cincinnati City Councilmember, a citizen called up to complain about the Goodyear Blimp.
The Goodyear blimp was in town for a Monday Night Football game.
The caller said the blimp was hovering outside her window and that the people inside the blimp were watching her undress.
I can’t recall what I told her. I suppose I told her something because those were the type of phone calls that could go on for a long time. I could be with on the phone with her to this day if I let it go on.
Dealing with the public is always an education. In the end though you have to allow it to make you more human and gentle towards others.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.

Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.
The portrait is a Portrait Of Jeanne and was painted by Amedeo Modigliani. Mr. Modigliani lived 1884-1920.

Maybe she should have closed the shades. That’s what I would have done.
You would imagine. But it just does not work that way. It’s better to think the blimp is watching you and be able to tell people about it.
