Have you ever searched for that address before?

No, that was a brand new one to me.

If I put on my tinfoil hat I start to think someone was listening and was curious about my connection to that address. (none before, none since) They might have googled me and that address. Google's heuristics etc having picked up on that, a few minutes later when I start to type in that address Google tries to be helpful and completes what it thinks it knows about me - 'cause someone else had already associated me with that address in Google's mind.

Seems pretty far-fetched. My other not-so-over-the-top explanation is that I was also told "it's near the corner of x and y" and I may have (un)consciously scrolled/positioned Google Maps over/near that area. That address may be the only one in that area that starts "64..." I just don't remember doing that. But it seems plausible, probably even likely that I did.

Ah well, if anyone is that interested in me they are rapidly going to get bored. Aside from ranting here I'm no real threat to anyone. Well, if there is a surveillance team listening to me they may be in danger. You see, I am going to sing along with the radio on the way to work. I should probably apologize to those guys up front - I hope you had a light breakfast and a strong stomach. There's a reason I only sing in the car, alone.

If you still have the ads and the suggestions coming up then maybe google is using speech to text to listen in on the calls. If you use an android phone then you are using google. They just haven’t gotten around to telling the public they are listening yet...
