We do that next week after the kids are done with looting and pillaging (All Hallows Eve).
And thanks to the British Antiques Road Trip, I now know where the black peaked hat, broom and cat come from - alewives. While there's historical quibbling about this, I like this story Why Did Women Stop Dominating the Beer Industry?
Up until the 1500s, brewing was primarily women’s work—that is, until a smear campaign accused women brewers of being witches. Much of the iconography we associate with witches today, from the pointy hat to the broom, may have emerged from their connection to female brewers.
...
They wore the tall, pointy hats so that their customers could see them in the crowded marketplace. They transported their brew in cauldrons. And those who sold their beer out of stores had cats not as demon familiars, but to keep mice away from the grain. Some argue that iconography we associate with witches, from the pointy hat to the cauldron, originated from women working as master brewers.
That's pretty much correct, add that male doctors also chimed in on the hate campaign because people (prospective paying patients) were going to wise women (witches) for medical help, and aid with childbirth.

That has timeless value.
It's time for my customary goodnight win.
50 Times Cats Could Not Shut Up, So Their Owners Took A Pic (New Pics)
The “Cats Who Yell” internet group has a very specific form of cat-content. As it says in the name, it shares images of talkative felines who seem to really have something to say.

Good evening.
My lights won't stop flickering and its driving me nuts.
I'm almost afraid to ask if you know why they're flickering.
Sometimes its not the destination, but the drive taking you there.
On the upside, I love nuts. Especially mixed nuts with lots of hazelnuts. I don't find them so much, so they have become an extra special treat.
I have no idea. But its on all three floors of the house, and all the lights seem to take turns on which is doing it.
That's a good question. I found this switch on my wall that doesn't do anything. I've been flicking off and on constantly this afternoon. Nothing.
I want to go another direction, but the driver seems to have other ideas.
I enjoy almonds.
I often have the same problem.
Almonds were recommended by my physician as the best choice in nuts. They have many health benefits.I enjoy almonds.
