I don’t need new windows or my gutters cleaned, because I don’t own a car …

… I live in a tall tower apartment. The windows are kind of stuck in place and will open about three inches (which is perfect, as that way Oscar, my cat can get his sniff of fresh air about 500 feet above ground level) and I have no clue if the building has gutters. I have not owned a car for 20 years. I do not want to own a concealed weapon or want to meet a single senior.

So why, in this age of algorithms, is my spam full of ads wanting to replace my windows, clean my gutters, improve my car insurance, let me carry a concealed weapon and meet randy seniors? I have never done an online search for any of these. I just don’t get it. All these folks are supposed to ‘know’ all about me, but clearly they do not. I go in each time and ‘block’ them but this seems to have a hydra effect. Kill one today and three more arrive tomorrow. They clearly know nothing whatsoever about me. And that, in some ways, is very comforting.

But it’s also most vexing and I am sick of it.

  1. Oim fine ! All is well with me and Oz. Just thought I wud throw this in. Carolyn tells me that the BA terminal is likely to be torn down, when they foxtrot oscar to the AA terminal. This means that every building I knew in JFK from 1970 onward is now either not there (the majority) or completely different. Who would have thought the TWA one would become a hotel !!!!
