Something About Hats Not the Color Version

Something About Hats is a book with improvised and improved stories. When Bull and Jake stay after school for a lesson not forgotten, the principal makes a profound impression by encouraging students to stay in school so they have a chance to use their education to make something better happen. Beware of Your Barber is the next episode about how a short circuit haircut and straight razor shave lead him to an occupation where he climbs tall poles, digs deep holes, plants poles, and builds electrical lines for White Lightning Electric. In the field, he endures static sparking and snapping, fierce gusting winds, rain pelting downpours, hard pounding hailstones, sleet, snow, blinding lightning strikes, tornadoes wailing overhead, and yellow hard hats flying down the railroad tracks. Payoffs and political kicks under the table rob personal integrity and run him down the road. Lost in transition, he sits in the park reading. Buckwheat looks up to see his dad standing by him. They embark on a fishing safari into the unknown to escape the forsaking heat wave in the Summer of Eighty Eight. Searching for a purpose, they catch enough for a lakeshore fish fry and Buckwheat finds a purpose for continuing his education. Uncle Sam and the Tax Man is an episode about who is the good Samaritan. Lean Thy Arms is a story about the day he is born from an episode duck hunting with his dad for a birthday wish. Something About Hats is the cover story about an episode from when he camps in a tent, ostracized, while he writes episodes to make a story for this book, Something About Hats, which leads to the next book. About Hats is the sequel with a story, a poem, and historical and nature pictures from a 56-mile bicycle ride while delivering hardcover books to mentors.
