I called the local Hobby Lobby the next town over for SWMBO to check on soap availability around 12:15. They have what I need. I go get it, etc...etc.

I get a call from the same number I dialed earlier at 6:16p.m. No voicemail message. I missed it. Didn't even hear it, as I was beating my brains in chasing a dead GFI outlet.

10:38 p.m. I'm coming out of the happiest place on Earth  (Walmart ,  yuck) and get a call from that number again. I fumble with the phone and miss the call. No voicemail nessage. Called back immediately,  and...nothing. The store closed at 8:00.

I'm not worried, just seems like a weird thing happening. What do you think is going on?

There's a glitch in the matrix.

Nearly all businesses are on VOIP these days, meaning that the whole thing is a computer instead of pushing a button to generate an analog tone.  Stuff happens, zeros turn into ones, sunspot activity, moon phase, new software upgrade, whatever.  Think of it like when a program crashes on your computer and weird stuff happens.  I've had people call me at the theater and say "I got a call from this number" when I wasn't even in the office.

Or is it chicken? Maybe we've just been told that taste is chicken.
