White Dog and I enjoyed an unusually quiet morning until we learned from Steve at lunchtime that this a.m. silence was due to the fact that we had no phone service! It is one thing to choose quiet...another to have it forced upon us. Seems that it is transition day from our old land line to the new VOIP system we are switching to and that our phone number was being "ported." Neither White Dog nor I much liked the ringing with no one on the line that goes along with an afternoon of testing the system. By late afternoon, White Dog was howling mad at the constant jangling...and I was annoyed but resigned.
