Happy Halloween! Here's evidence of the time I tried to carve a turnip! Believe me, pumpkins are so much easier!
Pumpkins were not common in England, Scotland or Ireland, but folks did carve turnips or beets into lanterns to scare the dead away on this day of thinned veils between worlds
Congrats!

A white bandage featuring sketches of how to bandage various wounds.
I love this bandage from c.1900 featuring illustrations on how to wrap wounds resulting from accidents involving a soldier, a sailor, a miner, and a woman whose clothes have caught fire. This amazing object is part of the Wellcome Collection in London.
The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s.
We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again.
Pass it along…
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.
That long wait for summer reruns…

A carving of a plague doctor wearing a beaked mask, long robe, gloves, and a brimmed hat. He's also holding a pole, and he has a little satchel.
