Which is why ads for 2007 Toyota Ta- coma mud flaps and pyrethrum garden sprays show up in the margins of my searches … even though I ordered both in 2017, thank you very much. Hope springs eternal in the online world of visitor shopping profiles, ap- parently. The collectors of the detritus of ev- eryone’s internet habits say that the da- ta collection “enhances” our “experi- ence.” But if you are a column writer totally in the dark, and thus doing multiple on- line searches about topics such as Royal Wedding fashions, cakes and reception foods for a column about skipping the TV extravaganza to go dig clams on Till- amook Bay, the ad choices can be, um, interesting. Such as a search for “Oregon tide ta- bles” at “Information Vine” that was topped by “Vascular Imaging Tables” featuring “4-way with trendelenburg tilt & patented iso-roll top” on the search results. Which has something to do with cor- rectly positioning a patient for a medical procedure, apparently. No mention of a rake, shovel, or a bucket, although speaking about which ...

Then there’s the festive five-tiered wedding “Tostitos Dip Cake” with 42 decorative layers of sour cream, guaca- mole, queso and other corn chip en- hancements. I could go on about Dunkin’ Donuts Royal Love Donut or the gold-boxed Vel- veeta Crowns and Cheese, a limited- edition mac and cheese with (this is se- rious stuff; no, really) “crown-shaped pasta” … but why?
