Ring Around The Moon Folklore has it that a ring around the moon signifies bad weather is coming. The ice crystals that cover the halo signify high altitude, thin cirrus clouds that normally precede a warm front by one or two days. It is believed that the number of stars within a moon halo indicate the number days before bad weather will arrive. Give it a try the next time you observe a moon halo.

Middle Bay Lighthouse When i was a kid i wanted to move into the Middle bay light... i am surprised it is still standing Middle Bay Lighthouse, also known as Middle Bay Light and Mobile Bay Lighthouse, is a hexagonal-shaped screw-pile lighthouse with a lantern on top. It sits offshore from Mobile, Alabama in the center of Mobile Bay. The station was activated in 1885. In 1916 the keeper's wife gave birth to a baby that summer at the station. According to the Alabama Lighthouse Association web site, the keeper brought a dairy cow to the station and corralled it on a section of the lower deck because his wife was unable to nurse the newborn baby. All had to be evacuated when the station survived but was damaged by a hurricane that year. The light was automated in 1935. The lighthouse was deactivated in 1967. In 1984 the lighthouse was stabilized by Middle Bay Light Centennial Commission in preparation for the centennial celebration. Middle Bay Lighthouse was placed on National Register of Historic Places in 1985. In 1996 the Coast Guard loaned the original Fresnel lens to the Ft. Morgan Museum for public display. In 2002 restoration efforts were begun to repair the lighthouse.

Stedmans Landing Stedman's Landing Established in 1852 and used as a community wharf until destroyed by the 1916 hurricane. The Wharf was an important factor in the life of the Montrose community. Located in an inward curve of Mobile Bay, the warf was quite long because it had to reach the natural deep water traveled by bay boats along the Eastern Shore, The wharf began at the foot of Sibly Street in Montrose Alabama, where the bluff was about 50 feet high requiring a gradual slope downward. The slope allowed the freight car to go down the wharf by its own momentum on wooden tracks. This was a flat car for general use with portable sides used for certain commodities such as pottery. The return trip up the wharf with loaded cart was pulled by mule or ox. lumis
