Thanks RadioFlyer. A friend of mine was crazy about them too. She saw them when they came here in the 60s - most likely crying her eyes out and fainting.

She had the opportunity to meet Paul at a charity event they were both attending a few years ago. Prior to being introduced, she practiced a friendly smile and very nice/cordial greeting. When she was face to face with him, all that flew out the window. Her knees became weak, and all she could do was gaze into his eyes and blurt out "I saw you at the Amphitheater in 1966." He gave her a friendly smile and responded "Ah yes - I remember you."

Good luck getting rid of those carpet beetles. I've never heard of anyone getting bitten by carpet beetles, so I doubt they feast on humans/animals or are aggressive in nature. They're a bit crunchy, so maybe they'll just make your carpet Snap, Crackle and Pop.
