P. askes, are there any skill we have that no one knows about. Yes.

I can juggle, too, but not as well as when I was in youth. Hush puppies (that fried, corny treat) are hard to juggle, though. You'd do better with the shoes. I can also carry a tray of drinks over my head.

I'm not sure I even have skills that everyone knows about . . .

I can trip and fall on a perfectly smooth, level surface.

I can spin throw pillows on my index finger for hours at a time (sort of like a basketball player would, but with a ball... not a pillow).

Paula, your book is #626,705, and the one by that "other" Carino is in the 700,000s! Plus his costs $182.90, while yours is affordably priced at $9.95. I think you are still the bestselling Carino.

Oh, thanks for the stats, Sue, I didn't even get that far. Actually, I think I have slipped a little, because not long ago I was #500,000-and-some-change.

I can spot books in library booksales that apparently sell for a small fortune on Amazon. Like the CRC Handbook on Nondestructive Testing of Concrete. Actually, that one hasn't shown up in my discarded-books journeys yet. But this one has. That Ora Smith was rather prolific in the field, incidentally.

I can tell that concrete book isn't by you. Destructive testing of concrete would be much more rock'n'roll.

I didn't look at the page rankings for the Carinos; I just sorted by "Bestselling." I heard once that the page rankings are really about page hits rather than sales, but I have never been able to confirm that.

My secret, special talents: 1) Matchmaker. I have only done it three times in my life, but of those three, two couples got married, for a combined total of nineteen years and four kids (and counting...), and the third couple would be married if it was legal. 2. I am a World-Class Parallel Parker. I never need more than two moves to place my car so close you couldn't slip a page from a concrete-destroying manual between the tires and the curb. I can park my car in a space just millimeters wider than my vehicle, as if I had 90-degree-turn wheels. (All of this sans power steering, naturally.) Now, I'm sure you're thinking this skill was developed over my 16 years as a car-owner in New York City, but I tell you I've always had this ability. I wuz born that way!

How perfect that a book about potato processing is by someone named Ora. One wonders if her (?) middle name is Ida.
