Today’s Wiki-est Amazonian Googlies
Apologies for my recent absences. I am travelling in Europe, somewhat unexpectedly. I will be doing my best to keep up with puzzles and posts, but might “go missing” occasionally until I get back home to California.
In the meantime, I will be trying to at least write these abbreviated posts.
Again, apologies, and thank you for your understanding.
Bill
