Only fools think money solves all problems,â my lifelong best friend and mentor Jaybird told me. One day while lolling with my pals on Uptown Avenue in our Mississippi Delta hometown, I ignored Jaybirdâs advice about money, and learned its truth the hard way. I didnât have a cent, and was certain money could solve a problem: coming up with twenty-five cents to buy an All-Day Sucker at Peach-Eyeâs Grocery.

As we meandered up and down Uptown, Billy Clyde âB.C.â Rakestraw, a scowling, ill-tempered old farmer blared his truck horn, scattering us from a parking place near the bank. Like most folks, Jaybird didnât care much for Rakestraw, and warned me to steer clear of him. Rumor had it he was once was a happy, fun-loving guy until Billie Beth, his raven-haired, blue-eyed bride, ran off with a city slicker. After that, he took to drinking.
