PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

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?"
