  The Fog Horn - Ray Bradbury
It was a quarter past seven of a cold November evening, the heat on, the light switching it's tail in two hundred directions, the Fog Horn bumbling in the high throat of the tower.
And set up their Fog Horn and sound it and sound it out towards the place where you bury yourself in sleep and sea memories of a world where there were thousands like yourself, but now you're alone, all alone in a world that's not made for you, a world where you have to hide.
But that Fog Horn comes through a thousand miles of water, faint and familiar, and the furnace in your belly stokes up, and you begin to rise, slow, slow.

 The Racine Report » Fog horn creating new buzz with museum
The sole purpose of the white brick structure, for many years, was to house the fog horn that warned vessels of navigational hazards along the lake shore.
The horn ceased operation in 1964 when the Coast Guard left that post in Racine, and in the years that followed, its home was used mainly for storage, according to Lyle Andersen, a member of the Friends of the Lighthouse.
Funding for the Fog Horn Building Museum, which has totaled $25,000 so far, was raised by the Friends of the Lighthouse and much of the labor that went into the renovation of the building was done by Andersen and his three sons, Matthew, Luke and Ted.
