This story was in the L.A. Times today about a girl scout that warned both a local city and the state transportation authority about a dangerous intersection where train accidents were likely.
She did a powerpoint presentation for the City of La Canada just last month which was forwarded to CalTrans, but no one actually listened to her. Then, earlier this week another accident happened in the same place--a fatal accident that could have been prevented had the City and CalTrans heeded the girl scout's warning.
Girl Scouts is important y'all. Seriously. I learned stuff like what bark I could use to light a fire even when it was raining, that rose petals are edible, and how to rappel. Not to mention how to make and market majorly kick-ass meatball sandwiches.
I'm so proud of Ms. Malia Mailes, even though the asshats at Caltrans and the City of La Canada totally ignored her warnings. Maybe next time they'll take a 16-year-old with a powerpoint presentation a little more seriously.

Meatball subs like those haven't been seen since . . . .
