Mexico’s Killing Fields
my son Billy
My son Billy is 6 years old. We had a birthday party for him last Saturday. Ever since he could crawl he liked to play with tonka toys, you know, the kid versions of heavy equipment used to build roads and wreck buildings. I’m not sure if its the bright yellow color or the fact that his father get down on the floor with him and makes ridiculous noises pretending that they are the real thing. I haven’t done it yet, but I really need to prepare the video camera and catch them in the act. I think that whatever I can catch them doing will be priceless.

Heading to San Fran
OK, So me and the kids are going to jump on a plane and head out to San Francisco to visit my brother. We are going to do a lot of touristy kinds of things but my brother does not have any spare vehicles. So, I am on the lookout for car rental discounts, especially for something that can accommodate my brood of 4 kidlets. I just hope I can stand it because this will be the first time we’ve been on an extended trip in over 3 years, and the baby has never been on one. Oh Joy! That’s all for now.

Karastan Rugs - A Worthwhile Investment
If you are looking for a new rug for that room you just decorated or simply to give a new look to your old décor you may want to take a look at some Karastan rugs. Karastan began manufacturing rugs in 1926, making them a tried and true rug manufacture. In the roughly 80 years since this company sold its first rug it has earned the reputation of producing the finest quality power loom rugs available today.
What Makes Karastan Rugs So Great?
Karastan uses the highest quality natural and synthetic fibers in the manufacturing of their rugs. They also use the highest fiber density they possibly can which makes Karastan rugs long lasting and gives them unbelievable wearability.
Their wool carpets are absolutely the finest that can be found anywhere made form 100% New Zealand wool. Wool carpeting is not only comfortable but is naturally stain and wear resistant. Purchasing a Karastan rug made of wool means your rug will last you for years to come making it unnecessary for you to replace it a year or two down the road as often happens with rugs purchased from other manufacturers.
Karastan also uses the highest synthetic materials in the manufacturing of their nylon, polyester and Olefin rugs. Sometimes they use a combination of two materials to offer more stain resistance and to help preventing matting and wear.
Simply put these rugs are high quality simply because they begin with the highest quality materials available and then are manufactured with care to insure that these rugs meet the high quality the Karastan company has set for itself. They know that their reputation depends on the quality of their product and they do everything in their power to see that their reputation remains as unblemished as it has been for the last 80 years.
Will A Karastan Rug Fit My décor?

They make rugs that are perfect for every room in your house as well whether it is a bathroom, a bedroom, an entryway or a dining room.
Karastan manufactures everything from plain rugs to rugs that are elegant enough to hang on your walls as work of art.
These rugs can add a touch of warmth to any home and any homeowner would be proud to own one or more of these quality rugs.
What About Price
While at first glance Karastan rugs may seem a bit expensive, when you consider how well they wear, how beautiful they look and how long they last, you will soon realize that these rugs are a wonderful bargain. While most rugs will wear out and look old within a year or two these rugs when cared for properly can last 10, 20 or more years. That’s quite a value for your initial investment.
