Clearly this is not the appropriate 'spring' hat for the Easter Island head of Lower Town that seems to have taken up residence in front of our home...
so the first thing in the hat-changing manual requires that you don't repeat the folly of how you put the Christmas hat on, (leaning an extension ladder against a wobbly foam sculpture in the middle of the night), and back your giant van up onto the sidewalk, creating a semi-stable platform to put your borrowed 8' ladder on...
