LEAVE ME ALONE!

(The picture I used.)
A little over a week ago, I did a Google Image-search for a picture of the Dodge that once raced for “The Ramchargers” drag-racing team.
I needed the pik for a Monthly Calendar-Report.
For some reason — I don’t remember why — I got redirected to Amazon.com. I was shown a book on the Ramchargers.
Did I want to buy it?
NO!
All I wanted was the picture.
Case closed, or so I thought.
A couple days later I fired up my Facebook, which I rarely do.
There on the right side of the page was an Amazon.com ad with the Ramchargers book.
Did I want to buy it?
No; a thousand times no.
I never click the right-side ads.
A few days later I fired up my PhotoBucket, where I keep my image-files.
My images on these blogs are at PhotoBucket. I use an http address.
I use the cheapest unlimited PhotoBucket, which isn’t ad-free.
All-of-a-sudden some shrill hussy starts shrieking at me to use Cascade dishwasher soap.
Scares the dickens out of me, but I pay no attention. I can also shut off the Cascade-lady by switching off PhotoBucket to another app.
So I fired up PhotoBucket, and there again is the Amazon.com ad for the Ramchargers book.
Enough already!
A few days ago I got a “junk” e-mail from Amazon.com suggesting the dreaded Ramchargers book again.
Is this what we’re coming to?
Our revolution in technology is inundating us with junk?
BAM! In the trash!
LEAVE ME ALONE!
