Reenactment Of The First Halloween
Halloween commemorates the arrival of the first pumpkin off the Mayflower in 1620.
Right?
I suppose I don’t really know where Halloween comes from.
Here is the Wikipedia entry on the origins of Halloween.
That’s as likely a source as any other on the matter.
If you enjoy Halloween, I hope you have a good time today.
Don’t take any apples with razor blades in them.
My Computer Has Crashed
My computer has crashed. I don’t know what is wrong with it. Maybe I will have to get a new computer.
No matter—I can blog with this iPhone until I’m back up and running.
I know there must be a way to add pictures and links to my posted with the WordPress iPhone application. But I’m not sure how and it seems a bit daunting at the moment to try and figure it out.
It’s Halloween tonight. My wife and I don’t have any Halloween plans. Just as normal we’ve turned off all the lights and put up the no tresspasing sign on the door.
We do have some candy at home. I know there is at least one Hershey Bar on the kitchen. But we’ll be damned if you think we’re going to share it with anybody.
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.
