Walls Have Ears, Tine Suspects
Tine, whose daily walks with Rubob have become a topic of great interest on Madison Avenue, noticed an ad for "Hadrians Wall for walkers" on her blog today:
"The ad people must have overheard us talking about the Pennine Way during our walk to Little Pond on Sunday," Tine said to Rubob.
Tine had a hunch that advertisers were tailing her, in their round-the-clock effort to create targeted ads for her blog.
"That man we passed who wasn't wearing a hat, even though it was about 10 below 0 with the wind chill -- he might have been an ad man," Tine said.
"A madman?" Rubob asked.
"Yes, perhaps that, too, Tine said. "Be that as it may, he didn't appear to be accustomed to the outdoors. I expect he received extra pay for hazardous conditions."
Tine, you may recall, stopped at Hadrian's Wall during her long slog along the Pennine Way. In "A Nice Cup of Tea," she wrote about a tempestuous day on the wall.

Tine's village has its share of stone walls, too:
