Yep, You Could Float The River Down To New Orleans
Somehow, I came across a story from 2006 where a couple of Tulsa guys decided to take a trip to New Orleans. While there are several ways to get there, they opted for a fifteen foot canoe with a very small outboard on the back of it.

Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law late Wednesday that will require high school graduates in Oklahoma to pass a citizenship test before they can receive their diploma.
The bill’s proponents say taking the citizenship test will prevent rioting and looting.
House Bill 2030 was authored by Rep. Terry O’Donnell of Catoosa. As the bill was shepherded through the legislative process, he said it would ensure high school graduates are better engaged and be less likely to participate in civil unrest.
The new law also implements some new academic standards. It mandates students study primary documents like the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Emancipation Proclamation.
