How well do you know your place?

November 30, 2023 5:27 AM

I'm looking for a PDF that I saw a year or two ago, but the text of the document seemed to date from much earlier, like the 1970s. It was a set of questions that scored you on how well you know your local area. Questions I remember include, "what is the moon phase?", "name 3 edible plants," and "name an extinct species from your area." It was written in a flippant tone. This has been extremely hard to google.

Best answer: Was it perhaps this set? From Kottke.org

Response by poster: Yes! It mentions Rob Walker's newsletter, and I subscribe to that which is probably where I got it. That also explains why I couldn't find it here on Metafiler. (I assumed I had seen it on the blue.)
