Modern technology is amazing isn't it?

Of course you know they have records of what time you go to bed, walk your dog, play golf, take out the trash, talk to your neighbor, etc. Those satellites track everything. How else would they know you use Crest toothpaste, your dog eats Purina Dog Chow, you use Wilson golf balls, you drink Wild Turkey (empty bottles in the trash), and your neighbor wears red baseball caps. Pretty soon they won't market the stuff to you, they'll just send it and charge your credit card - oh yeah, they have that info as well.
