Last night, as I was deleting a number of the links from the sidebar (as well as adding a few new ones), I wondered if maybe I should also delete Mighty Girl. A quick visit reminded me why I shouldn’t. Maggie has an interesting way of looking at the world. Yesterday she wrote:

This morning I noticed a smoldering cigarette in the street. As most of the western United States is on fire right now, I walked a few steps over and crushed it with my toe. Then I realized how silly the impulse was. It’s not as if the asphalt were about to ignite. For a moment, it made me a little sad to live in a place where nothing burns.

I think I’d really start to miss strange observations like that.
