The USS Ponce, an amphibious transport docking ship, will be the first Navy vessel to deploy with the LaWS, officials announced Monday....

Jonathan Winters dies at 87
The man was truly a comedic genius. He could find a laugh in anything and for spontaneous improv comedy, there was none better.
I'm just glad to have lived to find the laughs I found, courtesy of Jonathan Winters. The world is now a little less than it was. But, it's always growing...
