| #6 @#$%$@^$*&#$ La Nina means another four or five years of drought for Colorado. The last eight or ten years have been drought conditions 70% of the time or greater. Combined with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and no sunspots, it means cold, dry, and harder to live in. Combined with an Obambi presidency, life's going to get rough for a lot of people. Mamma never said life would be easy, but this is getting ridiculous. |
