An odd day
First I get a phony cruise offer on my cellphone (which has been on the national do-not-call list for years), then I get a call from an annoyed woman asking why I called her cellphone. It seems the cruise-spammer is faking caller-id using the same list of numbers it’s calling.
The polite young black man in a three-piece suit peddling The Watchtower almost didn’t register after that annoyance.
