Jubilees are caused primarily by upwellings or upward movement of oxygen-poor bottom waters forcing bottom type fish and crustaceans ashore. Bottom water low in oxygen results from several coincidental circumstances. A pocket of very salty water accumulates in the deepest part of the northern portion of Mobile Bay and stagnates during calm conditions. The stagnation is caused by a salinity stratification, or layering effect, with the heavier salty Gulf water overlain by lighter, fresher river water. Stratification prevents movement of oxygen from the air into the bottom saline water.

Jubilee is the name used locally for a natural phenomenon that occurs from time to time on the shores of Mobile Bay, Alabama, USA. During a jubilee, blue crabs, shrimp, flounder, stingrays, and eels swarm toward the shore in such numbers that the shallow water near land seems to boil with life. People living near the shore ring bells and call out to alert their neighbors so that everyone can rush down to the water with washtubs, gigs and nets, and gather a bountiful -- and easily reaped -- harvest of seafood.[1] As jubilees only happen on warm summer nights, often in the early pre-dawn hours, the event takes on the aspect of a joyous community beach party, with lights shining into the Bay water.

Snoopy was born on the Daisy Hill Puppy farm along with his seven brothers and sisters, Spike, Andy, Olaf, Marbles, Rover, Molly, and Belle. After first being bought and then returned to the puppy farm, Snoopy was purchased by a young boy named Charlie Brown. The rest is history.

Your right boxman55

Christmas Seals - by a Danish postmaster, Einar Holboll, in 1903. Selling them and giving the proceeds to charities. Emily Bissell introduced Christmas seals in the U.S. with the Red Cross as benefactor in 1907. In 1919 the Nat'l Tuberculosis Assoc. (now the American Lung Assoc.) became the sole sponsor.
