Blogging Boomers Strike Again! Accidental Locavore Hosts the Carnival.

This week the Accidental Locavore is happy to present the 224th Blogging Boomers Carnival. We’re a group of Baby Boomers who have a lot to say on all kinds of issues. Bet you’ve got something to say too, so click and comment, why don’t you?

Now that we have some perspective, how do you think 9/11 changed the way you live your life? Laura Lee has some thoughts on that this week.
