Haz-Mat Avenue
The wife and I are considering moving to HAZ-MAT Avenue here in Houston.
At the bottom of the picture you can see a green liquid that was flowing down the curb.
The wife and I are thinking that house prices are real low on HAZ-MAT Ave.
Harris County Judge Edition Of Which Of These Is Less Like The Others?
Here is a “which of these is less like the other” game from Texas Liberal.
Today’s game focuses on the race for Harris County Judge Executive.
We’ll warm up for the main act with a test question featuring the train cars you see above. I took this picture a few hours ago in the area of Navigation Blvd. in Houston.
Which of these three train cars is less like the other two?
We can see that the one in the middle is the only one of the three train cars that is not cylindrical in shape. It is also the only one that is blue.
The one in the middle is also the only one covered in graffiti.
Okay. I think we get the idea. Let’s try another picture connected to the race for Harris County Judge Executive. This picture is also one that I took today.
Above we see three campaign signs on prominent display at the building of International Longshoreman‘s Association Local No. 24.
Which of these three signs is less like the other two?
Well…All three of the signs are for candidates on the ballot in 2010. And I’ll bet that all three have been endorsed by International Longshoreman’s Association Local No.24.
So I would say that the big difference here is that County Judge Ed Emmett is a Republican while U.S. Rep. Gene Green and Texas gubernatorial candidate Bill White are Democrats.
It seems that the Longshoreman don’t think much of Democrat Gordon Quan’s chances of beating Mr. Emmett.
Mr. Emmett has the support of unions and of the so-called Tea Party. That is very skillful of him.
It is rough out there. Where is the love for Mr. Quan?
I’m voting for Mr. Quan in this race. Harris County would be better served with Democratic control of our Commissioner’s Court.
Don’t give up before the votes are counted!
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.

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.
