Sorry for the extended absence, everyone – I’ve got a Physics exam coming up on the 15th and it’s rather taken over my life.
I do feel very bad about ignoring the blog for so long, but being a student and holding down a full-time job at the same time has proved to be pretty demanding. Not that I ever thought it would be easy, but this year has certainly been harder than last.
I think that if I had spent more time on the blog I probably would not have made a terribly good job of it, and I’m sure that my studies would have suffered.
It will be easier after the exam, but only for a few months – I will be signing up for other courses in the Autumn.
All of which won’t matter if Mike returns, but after six months I still have no idea why he’s gone quiet.
I just hope he’s alright.
In the meantime, one option is to make this blog more of a collaborative venture – I’d welcome your thoughts on this. As it happens TrueSceptic has agreed (willingly, I think) to come on board as an additional moderator, for which he has my gratitude.
Welcome aboard, TrueSceptic.

Welcome back.
I have been terribly busy myself.
Working on a few retirement projects.
1. Ice Age interpretation of Genesis Chapter 2 and 6 through 9.
2. Correlation of earthquake activity to sunspot activity. It appears we are much of a rusty car in an auto salvage yard being pushed and pulled by the magnetic energy of the sun.
3. The Tennessee River Valley draws my interests. The last day of battle of the Civil War on Chicamaunga was fought a top a flood deposit or an Ice Age Morraine. What broke the wall of mountains between Chattanooga and Alabama and let the Tennessee River through? Why is 1/3 of a mountain sheared away at Ringold, Ga., which faces the valley? Appears some great catastrophic events took place in this valley.
Again, welcome back.

Good to see you posting again!
Thanks S2,
It did seem like the place had been deserted.
I might contribute the odd item of climate-related news but mainly I’ll try to enforce Mike’s comment policy, which some people just ignore, despite it being pointed out.
Welcome back.
Onward and upward.
Thanks to all of you.
