“Mulberry harbours were temporary portable harbours developed by the British during World War II to facilitate the rapid offloading of cargo onto beaches during the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944.
“After successfully holding beachheads following D-Day, two prefabricated harbours were taken in sections across the English Channel from Britain with the invading army and assembled off Omaha (Mulberry ‘A’) and Gold Beach (Mulberry ‘B’) [at Arromanches].”
“The Mulberry harbours were to be used until the Allies could capture a French port, initially thought to be around three months. However, it was not until six months after D-Day that the Belgian port of Antwerp was captured that use of the harbour at Gold Beach lessened. It was used for 10 months after D-Day and over 2.5 million men, 500,000 vehicles, and 4 million tonnes of supplies were landed using it before it was fully decommissioned. The Mulberry harbour at Omaha Beach had been severely damaged in a storm in late June 1944 and was abandoned.
“The Dieppe Raid of 1942 had shown that the Allies could not rely on being able to penetrate the Atlantic Wall to capture a port on the north French coast. The problem was that large ocean-going ships of the type needed to transport heavy and bulky cargoes and stores needed sufficient depth of water under their keels, together with dockside cranes, to off-load their cargo and this was not available except at the already heavily-defended French harbours. Thus, the Mulberries were created to provide the port facilities necessary to offload the thousands of men and vehicles, and tons of supplies necessary to sustain Operation Overlord and the Battle of Normandy. The harbours were made up of all the elements one would expect of any harbour: breakwater, piers, roadways etc.
“An early idea for temporary harbours was sketched by Winston Churchill in a 1917 memo to Lloyd George.[…]Winston Churchill issued his famous memo 'Piers for use on beaches' on 30 May 1942, apparently in some frustration at the lack of progress being made on finding a solution to the temporary harbour problem.
“At Arromanches, the first Phoenix was sunk at dawn on 9 June 1944. By 15 June a further 115 had been sunk to create a five-mile-long arc between Tracy-sur-Mer in the west to Asnelles in the east. To protect the new anchorage, the superstructures of the blockships (which remained above sea-level) and the concrete caissons were festooned with anti-aircraft guns and barrage balloons.
“Mulberry ‘B’ (British) was the harbour assembled on Gold Beach at Arromanches for use by the British and Canadian invasion forces. The harbour was unofficially named ‘Port Winston’ and was decommissioned six months after D-Day as allied forces were able to use the recently captured port of Antwerp to offload troops and supplies.”

Simon loves temporary tattoos. I usually help him put the tattoos on his arm or hand. Yesterday he asked me if he could do it himself. So I watched as he carefully applied one to his hand.
Today when I picked him up from his grandparent's house, this is how he looked.
Once he got the hang of giving himself face tattoos, he moved on to his brother.

I’m Ryan from Dan O’Brien’s Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram of Methuen. Today we're going to be taking a look at the new 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
Now with the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, you're already at top of the line and one way you can distinguish that is the appearance packages.
So, on the headlights you have the LED lighting group and on top of that you also have the red tow hooks up front and two in the back showing you that it's the Rubicon and you have the air vents right here just to give you a little bit more of that rugged performance look. The wheels are also the 17 inch alloy wheels you also have 285 70 beefy off-road tires on there really good for the off-roading and that more bold aggressive look and you also have rock protection rails on the sides in case you know that way you don't have to worry about any rocks scraping against the back or the under carriage.
Now the one thing that really signifies a Rubicon is the red tow hooks that you get in the back right there there's one right there you also get the led lighting package for the taillights and another amazing feature about the Rubicon is that you get the full spare tire that has the same rim and the same wheel that actually come with the vehicle not some not some temporary tire.
If you want a closer look at any of our new inventory or this beautiful new Rubicon. Come down to 175 Pelham Street Methuen Massachusetts ask for Ryan I’d love to help you get the best deal possible.
This is a part of Entergy of Mississippi's project to replace the old wooden poles on this line with taller ones as well as installing a second set of triple-phase electrical power lines or a second circuit as the crew calls it, delivering more electrical power to the ever growing Rex Lumber Company Mill which was drawing way more power than the current grid could handle and with a newer transformer installed over at the nearby Brookhaven Substation, the Rex Lumber Company Mill can operate more efficiently without putting too much strain on the rest of the system.
This project is being done by a subcontractor called Shelton Energy Solutions... a Limited Liability Company (LLC) that is based in Alexandria, Louisiana.

Here is a clear view of the temporary mast and the temporary support rods that hold the double layers in place till they can stand on their own. After each part is completed, someone- usually Kirk- goes inside and cuts away the mast and all of the support rods.
The part is the upside-down, left waist and hip. The opening in the casting is the joint to the left thigh.

The local Goldfinches are still pretty intolerant and feisty, but there are so many of them around and they can not have to look at each other much, so that the sock is collecting a half dozen or so at times now.
