Meme from not_your_real: place the state

I got 92% (46 out of 50), average error of 20 miles. I would have done worse, but I got a lot of good states (coastline) first.

We painted the burned kitchen today. It'll need another coat before it's done. I also got to take apart a sink faucet to fix dripping. Roy did one as an example and then put it back together so that I could do two all by myself (this is like doctor internships -- see one, do one, teach one) and I reassembled them successfully, so go me.

I fell asleep last night before I got around to watching bad movies, so those will be tonight's entertainment.

Also, I picked up collard seeds at the WalMart, which regrettably didn't have circular knitting needles in size 4. I'll have to look elsewhere for knitting needles, but at least I have collard seeds for the great collard experiment this spring. (Yes, there is still snow on the ground. I believe in being prepared.)

I've been buying seeds, too. I'll actually start busting sod this weekend, I think, but my season starts well before yours does. I'll probably start planting a few things by the end of the month. I'm bound and determined to start some Columbines and some various poppies this year. Perennials, ho!

Collard shouldn't be hard to grow, I don't think. I know that Swiss-Chard and the like are pretty easy to grow.

I got 75%

Not bad, I thought, for someone from a completely other country :)

Main clues I used: Coastlines (two seaboards, plus the great lakes) were a good start. States I'd already put down helped some more..

But the biggest clue was the slant/curve of the straight lines - especially on the square states. Once two or three states were down, it was possible to judge fairly well where a state went just by looking at the straight lines and figuring out where that amount of slant/curve would be..
