American Amazon

American Amazon. In America? Yes. America has an Amazon and it's right here in good ole Southern Alabama. It's better known as " The Mobile-Tensaw  Delta". It covers an area of 200,000 acres of swamp, marshes,  bottom river lands plus miles of the Tombigbee and Alabama Rivers. There are hundreds of rivers, bayou's and natural bays and lakes stretching as  far North as the locks 100 miles up the River. It has all kinds of wild life here: alligators, moccasins, rattle snakes, coral snakes, squirrels, rabbits, wild hogs, deer, armadillos, coons and a lot more I'm sure I have missed. There is a PBS documentary about the Delta. I think it is produced by the state of Alabama.
 Now, how about that? It all belongs to the state of Alabama. They turned down the federal government's request to take it over and make it a National Park. Good for Alabama. We don't need more federal government controlled land. Alabama controls the taking of game and fish and oysters (ummm), blue crabs and shrimp. We catch large mouth bass, perch and  catfish here.

Today started out as rainy and cool. Started clearing up around noon and warmed up a bit. Tonight it cooled off a bit and the forecast for tomorrow  night is down to the teens and SNOW. Yep, snow here in Southern Alabama. And to think, we snow birds  came south to get away from the nasty weather. HAH!
I saw snow here in Magnolia Springs way back in 1946 and again in 84/85 (I think) I remember it got down to 4 degrees  back in 1958. Stayed that way for a few days. BRRR.
That's your history lesson for today. Sleep well and may GOD Bless you
