ORIGIN OF SUGAR
- Tallulah, Louisiana was home to a lot of sugar
- Vinnie’s conspiracy theory: the Confederacy lost because their soldiers were hopped up on sugar
- Louisiana makes TONS of sugar
- Hawaii does, too
- US Sugar Cane Production by State:
- #1 – Florida
- #2 – Lousiana
- #3 – Hawaii (distant 3rd)
- #4 – Texas
- Sugar grows in swampy, wet areas
- Louisiana also grows lots of crawfish, and they’re DELICIOUS
VINNIE’S KAYAK TRIP
- Vinnie has had to postpone his major trip because his shoulder is taking longer to come around
- Stellar Kayaks has been incredibly generous in providing kayaks
- Vinnie WILL make this happen because he wants it so badly
- Just a matter of “when?”
