O Mitey Stilly, you have done a good deed indeed. I looked up bird mites and felt that it would not be friendly to post the link. Here is a nicer picture.

The only thing I can add to the boys' banter is that my son Tom, who makes big plans about how to spend his money, has a new idea of what he can buy. In the past he has wanted to spend his allowance on such things as 3 gallons of raw milk, hundreds of Pokemon cards, a lifetime supply of matches, rare coins—things like that. But yesterday he asked if he could buy a monkey. "I look forward to changing its diapers, Mom," he said. "And I will set up a little hammock in my room for him to sleep in." I didn't dissuade him, just asked where he thought we could pick one up in Pocatello. His answer: "Oh, I bet they have some down at McKees ."

Where did Chongo come from?
