Halloween is near.

Last night Marilyn did a "test drive" on her latest Halloween gadget.  It is a broom that runs by itself around the house with a cackling voice like a witch.  Batteries, noise, or motion sends the broom scurring about until it bumps into something and turns around.  It looks a bit like something out of Harry Potter, but it had us laughing.  Old hardwood floors are great for robotic brooms.
