Ron, that is the magic of "targeted ads". We are being tracked 
everywhere we go on the
internet and the sites we visit form the basis for what the advertisers 
send our way.
Many of the ads that show up on my pages are for Sask. based companies 
and products.
Many are agricultural based. Oh yes, they know a lot about us.
Warming up here in Sask. but even at +15F it is a little cool to work 
with bare hands out
in the shop.

Ralph in Sask.
