In Galveston Today—Extinct Fish, Sea Monsters, Mermaids, Merbabies And Neptune
What do I hope to see and film in Galveston today when I go down to the island with my new Flip Camera to film some videos for this blog?
(Update–Here is the video I recorded in Galveston.)
Extinct sea beasts ( Here is information on prehistoric fish.) —
Sea monsters (Here are drawings of all types of sea monsters) —
Mermaids ( Here are mermaids from the American Museum of Natural History.) —
Mermaids with merbabies (Yep–That’s a real painting. By an Arnold Bocklin who lived from 1827 until 1901. Check out this one.)
And, of course, Neptune himself (Here is a measure of information on Neptune.) —
Here are some things you might also see if you visit Galveston.
Thank you for reading Texas Liberal. Without the blog reading public, what is a blog?

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
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.

I think whenever the times decided to come up wit mermaids is the signs of beastiality. to try to imagine a fish lady? they are all topless yet reveal no genitals. its a weird kind of thing if you think about it. the painters all try to make these fish-woman beautiful with large breast and flowing hair. today they would have shaved heads and tattoo’s and still Its a pretty sick idea. lonely sailors having a sea mirage no doubt.
My main thought is the blog traffic seeing these things would generate if I could get a picture.
what spell can you turn into a mermaid
is there really a mermaid? and sea monsters? i’ve always wanted to see a sea monster like plesiosaurs especially mermaids.. is it real? 🙂
I’m basicly part fish. Go on to google.com and write if any one has spells to become a mermaid. something pops up that says- go in the shower and say magic mermaids of the deep, i would like a tail and not two feet. once i come out of the deep, have my feet return to me. next time you touch water, you turn into a mermaid. that’s what the computer said. i will try it.
