Jubilee on The Shores Of Alabama

This afternoon while executing a very rote and monotonous task at the 9-5 - I had the chance to listen to an archived 'This American Life'.  Though I don't really recall the general overarching theme - in one of their acts,  I did learn about the jubilee phenomena on the shores of Alabama.  Simply said a jubilee occurs when  ocean dwelling creatures adorned with shell and scales wash up to shore in multitudes and multitudes.  This happens at random on summer days - some people even camp out at night waiting for a jubilees to occur.   What I find so interesting about it is that the people who live by these shores are fortunate -  they realize that jubilees occur yet they live with the mystery of when it occurs.  Reality has set in, I doubt I will ever see experience a jubilee.  It's too bad I don't have a summer to kill in Alabama.
