Break Your Rake

Did anyone ever teach you how to rake leaves? Did you take a course in it or read a book on how its done?

Me neither.

Some of us could use a few pointers. Nearly 28,000 injuries from raking requiring medical treatment occurred last year. Seriously.

How to Rake Leaves is sitting pretty at Amazon.com with a sales rank of 1,769,648, so expect another 28,000 for 2006.
