The other day, I decided to take a look at what is out there to replace my home phones. I spent about half an hour doing some online comparison shopping. Incidentally, not much out there for people like me with eyes that need at least 3X magnification and plenty of light. What is really needed is a good phone app for my computer.

Oh well. Before I distracted myself. For the last week, I have received at least one Email a day from Amazon with a wide selection of phones.

So, if you are shopping for tires, don’t be surprised if you start getting Emails advertising tires, but I wouldn’t think from Amazon. I don’t know. Maybe? Does anyone know if Amazon sells tires? They sell most everything else.

At any rate, sometimes it is fun. I am looking for info for a character in my book, not me. So one of my characters is going on a trip to Paris. I do a little research on a trip to Paris. You know. To keep it a little realistic. The next day I get all sorts of advertisements on trips to France.

I am beginning to think that is the way to shop. Just look for what I am looking for on line. Then wait. I suspect the next day I’ll get a bunch of money saving deals I’d have never found from my research.

On the other hand, in the mean time, it is fun to see who’s eavesdropping.
