Announcement

Readers may recall a few weeks back where I mentioned that there was a major health challenge in my family. It remains, but we do have a plan of attack.

That will occur this Tuesday, and a 5.5 hour surgery at one of the country’s top medical centers is involved. The operation is not on me, but my lovely wife.

As a result, I’ll be pretty much offline this week. But there is good news in all of this.

WUWT has a life of its own now. It will continue without my help, thanks to the tireless work of guest authors, our moderation team, and of course the tips and notes brought in by our volume of readers.

Since this will be a lighter than usual week, guest posts and news items are welcome.

Along those lines, as I mentioned in comments here, I extended a guest post to Tamino, since he thinks my presentation of Arctic sea ice is all wrong. I formally extend that offer again for him to do a post on Sea ice this week, either or both hemispheres, with the only caveats being that it has to be published free of any insults and that all comments must be accepted that fit within our blog policy.

If anyone has ideas for a guest post, flag a moderator. “Charles the moderator” can publish guest posts. Just leave him a note and he or somebody will contact you.

I leave WUWT in capable hands. Barring complications, I’ll likely return late this week or this weekend.

Thank you for your consideration. – Anthony

I can be contacted at charlesthemoderator (at) gmail dot com.

I don’t read every comment so email is best if I you need me to see something. ~ctm

UPDATE: 10/20 11am pst from my Blackberry at SU med ctr

Surgery went well – no issues- prognosis good.

Long road to physical rehab begins.

My sincerest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone for their support and prayers.
