Today’s Wiki-est Amazonian Googlies

Greetings from Aurora, Colorado where I am attending a family reunion (my wife’s side of the family). I just found time to solve the puzzle tonight, and to write up this abbreviated post. I’ll get to the full post just as soon as I can tomorrow (Friday) morning, hopefully before noon (Mountain Time).

Apologies, and thank you for your understanding.
