The Homesteading Carnival: carnival # 140 "Glitch in the System" Edition

Welcome to the April 5, 2010

"Glitch in the System" Edition

of the homesteading carnival

This week I had over 5o entries for the carnival in my mailbox. However, I think there must have been a glitch in the carnival manager site that forwards the submissions to me. There were a lot of repeats from the past three months at least. I've tried to weed out the repeats. I trust I didn't weed out some that weren't repeats. ARGH! I hate it when computers foul up. I trust however, you'll enjoy the submissions that I did keep. Happy Week to you all and Think Spirng!
