What's more current than the weather?

New Mexico is drought central at the moment. We're in the middle of the great North American Monsoon, but it's been nothing but thunder and lightening and some black clouds that promise rain, then break their word and blow away leaving nothing behind except a few brush fires started by lightening strikes.

My roomie is an archeologist and he claims we're all gonna die out here just like the Anasazi did. He's a regular black cloud himself, but archeologists do love their dead civilizations.
