Well, all this makes sense: sugar is pebbles and salt is grains, only I've forgotten the etymology of salt--we may have discussed it because there has been a lot of discussion here and there on AWAD about salt.

I heard, when a very small child, that caimans were a completely different species from alligators. The reason I remember this is someone brought me what I believed was an alligator purse, even with the head attached! I went nuts! (I was about 9 years old.) I shouted, "Don't you know it's against the LAW to kill alligators!!! I've got an illegal purse and I'm going to go to jail!!!!" But then my dad told me not to worry--that it was made of a caiman.
