    Ha! That link is a hoot! It asserts this drivel; long droughts to come IF;
    "if no action is taken to rein in climate change by curbing fossil fuel use".

    And then the article is followed by a video giving the "real reason the Mayan's wiped out", a 100 year drought.

    Geez, the Mayans didn't even use fossil fuels! Perhaps they burned too much corn oil.

    Who knew that NASA is a slimy, lying outfit?

    Went to the Moon. Yeah right.

    Was driving in CA last week when they actually got some rain (from NorCal down to a a bit further than Little Panoche Road along the I-5).

    That was a straight up blasting. At first, I was like "Welcome to Oregon, bitches!" as I blew by all the Californians that were like "WTF is this coming from the sky?" The shit got real. Torrential downpours. It doesn't even rain like that here in Oregon. My windshield wipers couldn't even keep up, so while I was blowing past everyone, I was white-knuckling it for a few hours).

    They were so happy to be having some rain. I literally had people thanking me for bringing it from Oregon (and I got two free drinks at the bar - weird, but I'm not one to turn down alcohol). In Napa, they were talking about potential flash floods.

    Of course, then I reached Oceanside and all was groovy (85 and blue skies).

    Yeah, whenever it does rain here it rains pretty fucking hard. Hydroplaning and shit, and add in that the roads are built like shit out here.

    Yeah, I was laughing. No one knew how to drive in it. I felt bad. It's like when they close schools up here due to a dusting of snow.

    Yeah, we get "stormwatch" as the leading story when it rains out here. Plus if it hasn't rained in a while, everyone freaks out about oil slicks on the road.
