Carnival #169 ~ "Totally Blown-Away" Edition

Welcome to the December 6, 2010 

"Totally Blown-Away" Edition 

of the homesteading carnival 

I am totally blown away as to what happened the last time I did the scheduling for the carnival.  For some reason there wasn't one scheduled for today so therefore I didn't get any entries from anyone.  I don't know what happened.  It boggled my mind; however, when I went in today to post and there was nothing scheduled.  YIKES!!!  So this week's carnival is going to be some links of sites that I've come across that I thought were note worthy to check out.  Hopefully, you will to.  Sorry don't know what happened.  Maybe next week we'll get back to our regularly scheduled carnival.
