The other option for the land line is to cancel it entirely, but about six weeks ago I got a call from a friend who looked us up when he was in Santa Fe, which is when he found out we had moved. He found our land line number and I just happened to be around when his call came in, and his caller id was announced by voice bot that lives in our land line. We might not have reconnected had I discontinued the land line. TBH, though, I had been trying to get his number — we were both thinking about the upcoming 60th anniversary of our canoe trip to York Factory on Hudson’s Bay.</p><p dir="auto" class="">—Barry</p><p dir="auto" class="">On 18 Apr 2023, at 15:23, Frank Wimberly wrote:</p></div><blockquote class="embedded" style="margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 5px; border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(19, 107, 206); color: rgb(19, 107, 206); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div dir="auto" class="">My Google phone warns me of suspected spam calls.
