In the time my wife went to the dentist (by bike) Jeff Bezos went to space.

That's cool, and I bet they are doing good work, but if I had that money to play with I'd be putting it all on interesting unmanned missions.

... Though British Amazon goods are delivered from British Amazon warehouses to British Amazon customers on British roads by British drivers, the sales of those goods are processed in lightly regulated Luxembourg. Can it be a coincidence that as the net tightens on Amazon, its founder, Jeff Bezos, is lobbying Nasa to put Amazon in charge of outer space?

Setting up the new computer and I needed a little accessory. The Amazon algorithm somehow calculated I got free shipping for the 13 dollar item. I did not shop elsewhere.

I bought a cookbook in the real store today.
