Russian Navy Sunday Morning Inspection
It’s Sunday and that means it is the right day to run a photo of a Sunday Morning Inspection in the Russian Navy. The photo is from 1893.
All the men look to be in order.
I don’t know much about the Russian Navy or about the Sunday Morning Inspection. It does not seem based on the photo above that these men were sailing aboard Russian Torpedo Boat 61. Torpedo Boat 61 is what you see below in an 1895 photo.
It looks awful to serve on that thing. Cramped and hot.
Houston District H Council Election A Joke—Photo Of Rubber Chickens
In Houston’s City Council District H special election yesterday , two candidates beat some other candidates and have qualified for a runoff that will be held some day sooner or later. Here is the Houston Chronicle story on the issue.
Of 93,000 registered voters, only 4,200 folks showed up.
Sure.
Some folks blog about this stuff quite often. Here is what Houston political blogger Charles Kuffner said about the District H election.
Me?
I’m going to run a joke here on the blog—
A frog telephones the Psychic Hotline and is told, “You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you.”The frog says, “This is great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?”“No,” says the psychic. “Next semester in her biology class.”
( Yes–The District H race was not a very good joke which is why I ran a not so good joke.)
Also, I’m going to run a picture of rubber chickens—
Maybe Mr. Kuffner has some insight I’ve missed, but one has to wonder how much time this stuff is worth when the people who live in the district don’t care.
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.
