One of the most iconic images of World War 2 is the amphibious landings at Normandy using the Higgins Boat.

The idea of a ramp up front did not die with the end of the war, but has survived for operations were the loading and unloading of materiel is not “normal” or classical. Some Ferry boats use the ramp system and I have seen boats based on the Higgins design on TV shows about Alaska where there is plenty of water, no roads and heavy stuff needs to be delivered.

So what happens when you cross a Higgins boat with a Swiss Army Knife?
This happens:

Even I would not mind owning a baby like this.  Amazing stuff!

I just posted about an article where Moms Demand and Everytown push a poll saying Floridians do not want Open Carry. Much to my surprise, I check Shannon’s Twitter feed and find this:

So a voting against Open Carry is immoral. Thank You Ms. Watts, your support is appreciated it.

…but I don’t know about the pollster. Something there I don’t trust but can’t put my finger on it.

On Tuesday, gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety and the Florida Chapter of Moms Demand Action on Gun Sense released a poll showing the majority of Floridians opposed to nearly every controversial gun bill making its way through the legislature this year. According to the poll, which was conducted by political analyst, Mike Bloomberg adviser and and Clinton pollster Douglas Schoen, more than half of Floridians are against a variety of provisions under SB 140, which would legalize open carry in the Sunshine State. The poll found 76 percent of respondents oppose allowing guns on college campuses while 69 percent oppose allowing guns on elementary and secondary school campuses. Seventy-five percent of Floridians oppose allowing guns in airport terminals.

Not gonna say much more other than Mr. Schoen first said Hillary was not going to be the Democrat nominee because she was going to lose the primary in California and then was giving her a lead over Trump of six to eight points after the third debate and pretty much declared the race over.

And again, how come they never release the poll data? Just the “results” and we are supposed to believe them because…?

I saw a blurb somewhere about a report of a shooting in a Houston hospital. While I am watching the TeeVee showing Police Chief Art Acevedo  saying that there was not only no Active Shooting Situation but they could not even find evidence of anybody with a gun in the hospital, this pops in my phone’s news alert:

I give up.

SCIENCE!

It has come down to this.

“Yes daddy, I know I am 9 and he is 53, but I love him, it is my body and my rules, right? “
