Now this is freaky.

I thought I was done with HN for the evening after reading about this painting and a few other things.

So I opened my Kindle to read something else, and the advertising screen showed a book called Typhoon Fury (The Oregon Files).

I grew up in Oregon, so I figured I would take a look.

The blurb began:

> Hired to search for a collection of paintings worth half a billion dollars, Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon soon find themselves in much deeper waters.



That is data mining and advertising networks for you.
