@Pedonator: First, or occasionally second, is always the weather. The weather! First, second, third, fourth… I did my forty years of overcast, and I'm done.

@Mistress Cynica: Can't think of a better or tastier way to go. Will you make me a cheese omelette to help me shake this mortal coil? ADD: Cheese omelette with a few vodka martinis?

@Pedonator: With any luck, my massive coronary brought on by the enormous amounts of butter, eggs, and dairy I consume will have delivered me from this vale of tears by then. That, or the liver will have succumbed to excessive drinking, but I don't hold out much hope for that. The livers of clan Cynica are famously indestructible.

@Mistress Cynica: I'm native to SoCal and I'm always amazed when I ask some non-native what brought them here. First, or occasionally second, is always the weather. The weather! Enjoy the weather as you recycle your pee for drinking water bitchez, I'm outta here when personal economic conditions permit. @nojo: It's always snow melt that sustains civilization. I've seen climate prediction models that don't bode well for Mistress Cynica's neck of the woods. However, by the time desertification reaches coastal Oregon the only place to slake your thirst will be in the industrial wastelands of the tar sands and shale nuclear waste-strewn apocalypse of western Canadiastan or the deep-water drilling fields of the Arctic.

@al2o3cr: Did a drive-by a couple weeks back with the Judean Teabaggers Front, but we haven't been keeping up with every twist.

@Mistress Cynica: Not sure about Mac, but down in Bluejean the local water's dependent on snowmelt, not rain. Of course, you don't get snowmelt without rain passing over the valley first, but concerns about water shortages aren't foreign to Oregonians.

@Pedonator: The SoCal set whines about our six months or so of rain, but it does mean that we have water.
