Bud, Not Buddy Day #14

Again, not too much for today, and the Afterward includes its own pictures.  But I did want to show you again what Bud's newest ax looks like (we've seen this picture before) and what Steady Eddie gives him to take care of it.

 

Finally, remember what Christopher Paul Curtis says at the end of the Afterward.  Don't make the same mistake he did - that when his parents and grandparents woud start telling stories about their past, his eyes would glaze over and he'd think, "Oh, no, not those boring tall tales again!"  Listen.  Learn.  Learning from books and research is good, but learning from someone you love and respect is way better.
