Today’s Wiki-est Amazonian Googlies

We have family visiting for the long weekend, and so I’ve had limited time to devote to puzzles and blog posts. I just had time to slip away, solve today’s puzzle, and write up this abbreviated post. I’m working on the full post, and will publish it just as soon as I can.

Normal service will resume tomorrow (Monday).

Thank you for your understanding.

Bill
