Global warming is taking its toll, altering weather patterns. Africa is not the only place drying up, American cities are running out. If the town of Los Vegas, New Mexico doesn't get normal rainfall, it could dry up in 80 days.

Texas just went through one heck of a drought.
Cali's doing okay, though.

STILL going. Worst since the 50's.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Are the reservors OK?Comment

It just doesn't rain, and no, the reservors are drying up. We have water bans in place for outdoor use. Water the yard twice a week. No washing cars in driveway. Things like that. Meanwhile west Texas is burning cactus, again, to feed livestock.Last edited by SlowwHand; July 11, 2006, 18:09.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

What do we know about the Southwest?
Texas is a desert.
Death Valley is there - no water.
It never rains in California.
So what's new?Comment

I was about to say... it doesn't get much drier than the Southwest
Though granted, the rivers could completely dry screwing LA and Las Vegas over, but, the landscape as a whole is a desert already

This is scary for Oregon. We know that when you guys need a drink it will be Oregon that goes dry next. Cali wanted to pump the Columbia River south some years back.Long time member @ Apolyton

The American west is in a decade's long drought, so yes, it's drying up.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

We began sucking Owens Valley dry at the beginning of the 20th Century. A couple of decades ago, we got into a dispute with Arizona and Mexico over our overuse of Colorado Riiver water. We're sucking in water from the Sacramento River Delta. Our population is exploding. So where else we gonna look?
Our plan:
First, get Oregon electrical power.
Second, get Oregon water.
Third, get Oregon women.
Bwuhahahahahahaha!!
